Note on crux update 2.3 -> 2.4 and recent gcc 4.2.2 -> 4.2.3 "can't read /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory" Is caused by libtool. Any library you have compiled and contains .la files, has references to non-existing .la files. On runtime, you will not notice anything at all of this operation. At compile time however, expect build errors about missing .la files. The bug isn't in the package that misses the .la file then, but in the package that references this .la file. The fix is to grep all *.la files and then use prt-cache fsearch foo.la to find what package it came from then to do a force rebuild prt-cache update -fr --install-scripts foo. -- Danny Rawlins <Romster>
