They got it right on FC5. There is no failure on FC's part. FC is a bleeding edge distro. This has ALWAYS been stated and if you are unaware of this, you should have read the release notes. FC5 uses by default a NEWER version of libstdc++. If you install (through the correct update/installation channels, i.e. yum/pup/pirut) some application (such as thunderbird/firefox) which requires an older version of libstdc++, then yum/pup/pirut will(or perhaps should) resolve the dependencies for you and install the older compat libraries that are need. If, as I suspect in your case, you disregard the release notes and install things differently (such as using mozilla's own installation tools or you wish to install a package for which there is no rpm and you are forced to build from source), then you have to resolve these dependencies yourself. This is obvious and you cannot complain. If you fail to do so the fault is yours not FC's Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
