Install libstdc++.so.5 (Gcc 3.2.3) for Centos5 i686

[basis_co...@hotmail.com]

Hi,

I need libstdc++.so.5 (Gcc 3.2.3) for Centos 5, i686.

I tried searching on libstdc++.so.5 and Centos, but I did not find a
site from which I can download an RPM
for this. ( I found some sites that listed the RPMs)

Unless I missed it, I was unable to download this from Centos's
Website.

Any ideas on how to download the appropriate RPM would be highly
appreciated.

Thanks,
DF

You probably don't need it. Create a link to so.6 and name it so.5.

That is generally a very bad idea, it can make your programs fail
horribly. There is generally a good reason (API change) for people to
use a different major version.

I think you want the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 RPM.[1] If you got your
yum configured correctly it should just be a `yum install
compat-libstdc++-33' away.

I like the idea of 256 bits, though: 32 for the (Unicode) character leaves
room for 224 Bucky bits, which ought to be enough for anyone.
