Having trouble with 'make' command. (pertaining to ddrescue)

[ILikeWaffles]

The gcc package coming with Knoppix V 6.2.1 CD is newer than the one in the stable branch. I think that the easiest solution would be to install the g++ package from the testing branch.

I would suggest that you boot your Knoppix Live CD, connect to the internet, kill the screensaver daemon and execute the following commands in a terminal.
[code]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t testing install g++
mkdir /home/knoppix/test
cd /home/knoppix/test
wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.8.tar.bz2
tar xjf ddrescue-1.8.tar.bz2
cd ddrescue-1.8
./configure
make
sudo make install

This man speaks the truth!!! It works!

I disabled the screensaver in the menu before the install, but it still gave me some warnings during the g++ install. Still worked though after just pressing 'ok' to everything.

How did you mean to disable the screensaver daemon?

Thanks!!!
