libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
 

Hello. I am trying to install a software package (SGI OpenGL Performer) and when I try to install when using Fedora Core 2 I get the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is needed by performer_demos-3.1.1_gcc3-0

I have tried to find an rpm that will give me the proper file(s) but every rpm I have tried has not solved this. I have gone to rpmfind.net but it has not helped either. I think I must not be looking for the correct thing.

Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest that you find out which version of
libstdc++-libc
you have, and maybe to create a symlink with
the name the perfomer thing wants ...

Ok, how do I find out what version I have (if any)? Sorry, but I'm a newbie.

Thanks.

If that fails (comes back saying that a database
is missing), run "updatedb -c" (or "updatedb /")
as root and try again.

Ok, it gives me the following:

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/gcc-libstdc++-libc-interface.patch

What now?

not quite it.

Now, I don't have the slightest clue about fudora's packages,
but in slack the library you're after would be part of cxxlibs,
a set of c++ libraries linked against older versions of libc for
compatibility...

Too anyone installing Performer on newer releases making symlinks will not work trying to get the demos installed. The fix posted here works for me:

I've done this using both Fedora 6 and 11.
