	If you mean by "Creating an alias" you made a link by the name
	of the library netscape was looking for to the older lib, yes I
	have done that before with netscape successfully.  I have never
	thought of making an "alias libstdc++.old=libstdc++.new" guess
	if it works....

	You should really learn how to use apt-get.  Take a look at the
	man pages.  It's not difficult.  It will make your life much easier:)
