Blender installation.
 

Hi,

I was trying to insall Blender on FC4, however this error msg always comes out:

error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.6) is needed by blender-2.40-1.2.fc4.rf.i386



what shall I do?

Thanks in advance.

Look in the FC4 repo's for libstdc++-(major_version).(minor_version).(architecture).rpm ?

Why didn't you just download the binary rather than installing it?

I think he did download the binary and didn't have the runtime library (he never mentioned source and if you look at the package name it's architecture specific), but even if he wasn't using the binary there's tons of reasons to compile from source. He could be using third party patches, developing it, testing it, using it to learn how to code, or any one of an infinite number of posibilities.

Here's a link to a page with the RPM I think you're looking for: libstdc++-4.0.2-8.fc4.i386.html from RPMfind.net.
Hope that's the package you're looking for.

yes, I do downloaded libstdc++-4.0.2....rpm, but failed to install it due to some dependencies.

so I tried the older version libstdc++-4.0.0....rpm, but the system told me that it's already installed.

Search on your system for libstdc++* and make a link to it at /lib/ibstdc++.so.6. It's a crude hack but often works. You might fool Blender. Then you can download from the Blender website the binary if the RPM thinks it needs the libstdc++ package.
