I don't know anything about this -- I'm just curious...
If gcc 3.0 is on the SuSE 8 CDs, then it's at least a year old. If FLUXBOX was asking for libstdc++.so.3, would it not likely accept a more current (and stable) version of the gcc libs?
What about loading recent gcc and creating a link to libstdc++.so.3 ?
It probably wouldn't work. I haven't tried it, but gcc's c++ compatibility isn't exactly world renowned. version x.y has so far never been compatible with x.(y-1) or x.(y+1) gcc 3.2 uses libstdc++.so.5 and I really doubt it can be used here. I haven't tried it, as I said, so it *might* be, but I really, really doubt it.
Or would it break other programs to have gcc 3-dot-something libs installed?
No, you can have as many versions as you like installed at the same time, just as long as they're in different directories. //Anders
