Can anyone suggest a fix for this?? I am compiling a program with gcc-3.4.5 g++. When I go to execute that program I get the following: ld.so.1: ./prog1: fatal: libstdc++.so.6: open failed: No such file or directory I can solve the issue by setting my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where libstdc++.so.6 is located. This program used to run with gcc-2.95.3 without resetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Question I have, Is there a way to compile my program so that there is no need to have the libstdc++.so.6 at runtime? Can I create a prog1, that contains all symbols and no need for this library when executing? If so, what are the command options for doing that? I have read over the g++ and ld documentation but can not seem to find the correct combination. Thanks, Dave
