So I ran the binary on a RH7.3 machine. I just ran it against a random .wav file and it appeared that it runs there. It gave me error messages about the conversion but did not report the missing symbol __dynamic_cast_2. Then I copied the library from the RH machine to my Debian woody machine. I did not remove the debian package first. Too many things depend up it. apt-cache showpkg libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 But it is not required for basic C programs which make up the core utilities. That is I won't break 'mv' by doing this like I could moving other libs around. Therefore I moved my debian version of the library out of the way and moved the RH version into place directly. With that copied into place on Debian the pvconv program ran the same on my Debian machine as it did on the RH machine. With this library in place I think the program will run. cd /usr/lib mv libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so.debian cp libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so.redhat libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so Warning: I really can't recommend this type of low level shared library manipulation. Mistakes can really cause trouble with your system. You can definitely break your system and need to boot a recovery image to repair it. This is not the way to manage a system in production for example. But for debugging this type of hacking can be useful. And for your particular problem you might find this useful enough to solve your problem as much as you need it to be solved. I found an rpm of the library here: http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/updates/i386/libstdc++-2.96-113.i386.html That can be unpacked using: rpm2cpio libstdc++-2.96-113.i386.rpm | cpio -idm I see this solution as only a workaround. The real solution would be to understand what RH did to their library which breaks compatibility, or the reverse. Then modify the Debian version so that it works there too. Bob
