Something Missing?

[Ed Greshko <Ed Greshko greshko com>]

Hi,

I've an application running just fine under RHELv3 but it requires 
libstdc++.so.2.8 from the compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128 package.

The application fails under RHELv4 with:

libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've the compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2 package installed and would 
have thought it would contain the needed binary.  However, it doesn't.

rpm -q --redhatprovides  libstdc++.so.2.8   says...
no package provides libstdc++.so.2.8

Something missing from compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2?  Must wait for 
vendor to upgrade their stuff?

Ed
