How to install GCC 5.1 [SOLVED]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the [testing]-version of GCC 5.1. It requires gcc-libs 5.1 [testing] to be installed, so I downloaded the corresponding tar.xz file and tried to pacman -U it.
However, gcc-libs 5.1 requires 4.9.2-4 to be installed. Which it is. But apparently it isn't recognized.

[xxx@ccc Downloads]$ sudo pacman -U gcc-libs-5.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Is that a bug or am I missing something?

You should enable the [testing] repositories in /etc/pacman.conf rather than try to install individual packages.

Also, prepend commands with `LC_ALL=C` to get them to output in English.

You need to enable the testing repo in /etc/pacman.conf and then refresh your pacman database.  Also I good idea to set your LC_ALL=C for English when troubleshooting in the forums.  Welcome to Arch.

Not everyone has the en_US.UTF-8 locale generated, Graysky. LC_ALL=C is the recommended setting.

No, the gcc package that you currently have installed (presumably 4.9.2-4) requires gcc-libs-4.9.2-4, which you are trying to upgrade to 5.1 -- you can't do that without breaking gcc (or upgrading gcc in the same transaction).

You misunderstood pacman's output. Read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1524530 , it's a similar issue.

I just now saw it.

I'm currently compiling GCC from source anyway though, to keep the bleeding-edge, so I won't need that package. Once it becomes official I'll just upgrade as usual.

Thanks, everyone!
