This usually works because the libraries are backwards compatible,
In general one would hope that to be true, but not in this case. Allow me to be more specific:
i am compiling on a GNU/Linux/Intel system.
I have a thirdparty library (libthird.so) that requires libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 if libthird.so is linked against another newer version of libstdc++ then it will crash.
However, i wish to link the rest of my application against a newer version of libstdc++
is this possible? How do i set the options so that libthird.so resolves only against libstdc++-lib6.1-2.so.3 and the rest of the code links against the newest version of libstdc++?
Thanks to everyone for your help.
