I think I see the problem. I started out using unstable; but then was told I
should use testing instead. the gcc package is from unstable; but g++ is
from testing.

so I edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point to real-time's mirror of
unstable; and now g++ will install. :)

now let's see how long it takes to build OpenOffice on a 1.1GHz machine. :)
