Hello,
I'm confused by the multitude of versions of libstdc++ I find on my Red Hat
Linux installation, and the purpose of each one. Basically, my question
is: which of these supersedes which, and which is the latest? My problem
is a run-time incompatibility between a module I compile here, which uses
libstdc++.a.2.10.0, and the Java VM on RHL, which uses
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2. I was thinking of using the .so library for my
modules too, but now I have a feeling this is actually an *older* library.
For example, I have:
/usr/lib 113% ls -F libstdc++*
libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.a libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3@
libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so* libstdc++.so.2.7.2@
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.a libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8*
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so* libstdc++.so.2.8@
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.a.2@ libstdc++.so.2.8.0*
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2@ libstdc++.so.2.9@
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.a.3@ libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy*
And under /usr/lib/gcc-lib (in subdirs) I have libstdc++.{so,a} pointing
backwards to various versions in /usr/lib.
The funny thing is, when I installed GCC 2.95.3 from scratch, I only got
/usr/gcc/2.95.3/lib/libstdc++.a.2.10.0. No .so version.
So, to summarize my questions:
1. Which is the newer version? How do I interpret the various numbers in,
e.g., libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so ?
2. If, as I suspect, libstdc++.a.2.10.0 is the newest version, where do I
get an .so version of it?
3. Where can I find information on compatibility issues between these
versions?
Many thanks in advance for any information,
- Yuval
