I've got a few different packages that are asking for libstdc++.so.6, but I've found it in a couple of places on my machine. How can I get the rpm to see it?
rp -qa --dump | grep "libstdc++"
will tell you whether rpm thinks it has one
or not ...
If it does, maybe you're just facing a version
conflict rather than actually missing it. Can you
post an error message from any of the complaining
packages?
/home/dave/downloads/dependencies/qt-x11-free-3.3.4/bin/qmake: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thats trying to ./configure qt.
error: Failed dependencies:
dclib >= 0.3.4 is needed by valknut-0.3.7.hn-1
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by valknut-0.3.7.hn-1
Thats trying to rpm -i valknut.
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by dclib-0.3.7.hn-1
Thats trying to rpm -i dclib
I tried that command, loads of entries come up and libstdc++.so.6 comes up along with lots of others - so probably a version conflict. Any ideas?
