For both installs the following lib is necessary: libstdc++->4. I found the libstdc++-4.1.0-25.i586.rpm but if I want to install this rpm I get some 600 programs protesting about dependencies.
You can't just install any CC, LibC or LibStdC++ on any UNIX flavor. Programs are built against specific versions -- especially the core LibC and LibStdC++ libraries. On newer SuSE Linux versions, there are "compat" packages that are older LibC or LibStdC++ libraries built against the newer LibC or LibStdC++. That way you can run older programs built against the older libraries on the newer system with newer applications and newer libraries. But now you have the _opposite_ problem. You have an older system with older LibC or LibStdC++ and you want to run applications built against the newer LibC or LibStdC++. Unfortunately, unless the program builds from source against the older library, I'd say you're SOL. Unless you upgrade to SuSE Linux 10.1, which has GCC 4.1 / LibStdC++ 4.1. -- Bryan J.
