i have a really stupid question here since i hadnt used linux in 10 years but after just dealing with Fedora 9 and some apps that wanted libstdc++.so.5 i came across this and another useful link i got the rpm and had to force it using the following rpm -ivh --force compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-63.x86_64.rpm
then i checked with rpm -qi compat-libstdc++-33 and it came back with appropriate info
and my app ran
BUT my question is - where did it install libstdc++.so.5?? locate and some other commands fail to find it in any dir
actually then i have more questions in the future how can i force a directory??? - i really want that lib in usr/lib but the only useful info i found in rpm help was about old file path and new file path but a lot of time i just want one lib out of some repository
c++ya, thx in advance x
