1) Could you please name me such a package in Mandrake Linux 8.2? 2) You can't have a main package was built with another library with incompatible ABI at least for gcc2 <-> gcc3 interop since the linker would have cried when linking that said package, so you won't get that package. You can however have program X built with library L1, both with gcc2. Then, you can have L2, same than L1 but built with gcc3. Say both L1 and L2 have the same soname. It's clear that if you try to run X with L2 you are likely to run into a relocation error. That's normal. The user knows which of L1 or L2 program X was built so he will have installed the right library. Bye, Gwenole.
