Re: Using old libstdc library

["Craig Law" <CLaw@orange.net.au>]

Ben/David,

I've done as you both said and have only found libstdc++2.10 and libstdc++2.10-dev packages on my CD. I've have searched the whole of the Debian 2.2 CD that I have and there is definitely no libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1_2.91.66-4.deb package anywhere. Is it possible I have a different Potato version? I have searched the Debian site for the above package and I have found it in the /oldlibs area.

I have since done an apt-get install libstdc++2.9 and the package installed OK without removing any other packages. I guess my concern is "will I break anything by doing so". The server seems to be functioning OK and I've been able to load the Novell software I set out to accomplish.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Craig

Looks like libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 does what you're looking for.  It's
part of standard potato, just run "apt-get install
libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1"

Best of luck,
