open rar files in Linux

[Markus]

Try: apt-get install --reinstall unrar
or just: apt-get install libstdc++6

Here is the link to the package on debian



http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libstdc++6

Like pointed out then,

 apt-get install libstdc++6

should work.

Good luck

I think testing or unstable would be better, although it's a long time since I installed on knoppix.

libstdc++6 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libstdc++6: Depends: gcc-3.4-base (>= 3.4.3-13) but it is not installable
              Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21) but 2.3.2.ds1-16 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
