You guys (and ladies!) must be tired of hearing from Linux Newbies,
but here's one more.

I installed YDL 1.2 from CD on my PowerCurve 120 (see specs below) and
when I went to run startx, I got a message stating the following
file is missing:

libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

I poked around in some of the other PPC Linux mailing list archives and
found that this lib comes from either:

libstdc++-2.10.0-0a.ppc.rpm or
gcc-2.95.2-1g.src.rpm

It looks like there is a difference in shared libs depending on which
compiler you
use. i.e.

egcs(-c++-1.1.2-12c) uses libstdc++-libc6.1-1.1.so.2 and
gcc-2.95.2(-1g.src.rpm) uses libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

So I'm guessing some of the executables were built with egcs and some
with gcc-2.95.2???

Either that or all the executables were built with egcs and then
gcc-2.95.2
was loaded (rpm'd) afterwards. I did ask for the developer packages
during
the installation. (Hmmm, maybe I should reinstall and forego the
developer
packages??)

Has anyone else had this problem?

One of the fixes suggested (on the PPCLinux list) was to make a link to
the existing shared
libarary file and call it libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3. That doesn't sound
like it will work.

Another suggestion was to:

rpm -ivh libstdc++-2.10.0-0a.ppc.rpm

But then another list message said this caused problems with
egcs-c++-1.1.2-12c, since
it uses an earlier libstdc....

BTW the reason I'm looking at the PPCLinux list and not the YDL list is
that I can't seem
to find anything on the YDL list. I'm at this URL
http://lists.yellowdoglinux.com/ and
every time I do a search, nothing is found. Is there a better URL for
searching the YDL list?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
