i am trying to install BitDefender in my laptop. However a dependency issue happened. the package needed the libstdc++-librc6.2-2.so.3....

well, i used the install packages in gui 'configure you computer' section and found out that i have to install libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk....

i have downloaded it already. however through the course of the search i can't believe that mandrake won't have a gcc library so i searched through the mandrakelinux.com and found out that i have the available packages:

libstdc++5-3.3.2-6mdk.i586
libstdc++5-devel-3.3.2-6mdk.i586

so i am not sure if i have a problem with my installers . if not, what is the difference with libstdc++5-..... and libstdc++2.10-....... ? how should i install the BitDefender? should i really need to install the libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk? would there be any conflict?

PS
yes, most of the guys told me that i dont need to have an antivirus. well, iam just safety conscious.
why BitDefender? -well i donthave much time when in comes to tweaking. a bit of a concern using fprot and clamav(i heard from reviews).

sorry....thank you for reminding me. i'll keep that in mind.

ps
i hope you have an answer to my querries. i tried searching the web and still have no specific answer.

hi,
i know nothing about mandrake but that libstdc++-librc6.2-2.so.3 is an old gcc2 library
libstdc++.so.5 is the modern gcc3 lib.

I'm assuming this program is precompiled using gcc2.96(or near that) so yes you need the library
one solution if your distribution does not provide it is to compile gcc2.95.3 yourself

but i bet for backward compatability your distribution has the lib and it's in that libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk
package and no there is no confict -- you can have lots of old gcc libs
