Hi Guys,
Just like to ask about the "libstdc++-compat" provided on the ISO. The one that I have (that comes with the ISO) appears to be a 32bit package? Is that correct?
Yes. Just do the command "file libstdc++.(whatever)" to see that those are 32-bit libraries.
Is it possible to obtain a 64bit build of this library? (and the others included in the libstdc++-compat package)?
You can compile an earlier version of GCC yourself to obtain the 64-bit libraries. I believe that GCC-3.3.x contains the libstdc++.so.5. (The other libraries are from GCC-2.95.x which I don't believe will compile on 64-bit architectures.) You could also use a pre-built 64-bit package from some other distribution, such as Mandrake. Just use rpm2targz to extract any RPM's. Check out http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ or some other repository. I have on my system the 64-bit libstdc++.so.5 that I got from Mandrake. If you want me to email that directly to you, just send a message to the list. Frank Peters
