I'm putting this in the newbie’s section because I know this must be easier then I’m making it, but I can't seem to get GLIBCXX_3.4.9 on redhat enterprise edition 5.2.

From what I can tell I need libstdc++ 4.2 or greater. when I try searching for it on rpm.pbone.net the most recent version i find is libstdc++ 4.1. when I try rpmfind there is nothing for redhat but fedora has up to 4.4. I even tried grabbing the fedora rpm but then I need filedigests and I don't feel like trying to mess with that. A generic Google search also fails to find a redhat compatable version of libstdc.

So...why can't I find an up to date version of a very standard rpm for a standard distro? and is there some other way to get what I need?

did you try http://www.rpmfind.net ?

yes I did. the only redhat rpm for libstdc was for redhat 9 and was version 3.2. rpmfind never seems to have recent redhat enterprise rpms, only fedora. I know that fedora and redhat E are close cousins and when I was first figuring out rpm I had a few installed on redhat without trouble so I tried it here, but I need file digests for the fedora rpm to run on redhat.

Try libstdc++43-devel. It is in the base repos.

thank you, but I have already tried that. I thought it was suppose to provide what the GLIBCXX I needed, but after installing it I still receive the same complaints. when i run rpm -q --provides I'm told that libstdc++43-devel only provides libstdc++43-devel, not any version of GLIBCXX.

Take a look at comment #5. I think it might clarify things a bit.

I'm sorry, mabye I'm just dense but I'm not sure I see how the comment applies to what I'm attempting to do. I'm not looking for GlibcXX for GCC, it's actually for TAO/ACE.


Just an update. I have libstd now, I ended up installing the fedora rm's despite them not being fro rehat. it got the ACE libraries working, although I did lose the ability to burn cd suspeciously soon after installing the rpms. I'm gong to post a differnt question about that though
