I apologize for  being dense, truly. But how does a person ever figure this 
stuff out ...

So I start opening up one-at-a-time the 188 items on rpmfind.net looking 
for something that provides libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3?

Ok, I'm doing that (skipping around actually). I eventually stumble on this 
one:
    ibstdc++-2.95.2-12mdk.i586.html
    GNU C++ library
    Mandrake Cooker
    libstdc++-2.95.2-12mdk.i586.rpm
That says it will provide above. All the funny (meaningless, to me) numbers 
match. Is a "Mandrake Cooker" compatible with my Caldera system. May as 
well be a Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker for the liklihood that I could 
figure that out on my own. Presumably this one is already compiled for 
Mandr and 586. So will it go in the right place if I snatch it? How does 
one know? Or should I keep looking - knowing I won't find one that mentions 
anything about Caldera?

And how exactly would I "rebuild the gcc SRPM"?. I've installed everything 
that came with COLW 3.1.1 (I think) do I have what is needed for that? 
After I did that would I have libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3?

(Stops typing momentarily to scrape bits of greymatter off of monitor after 
brain exploded.)

Undoubtely this stuff is really, really easy once you know it. And there 
are now 5.2 quintillion people on this list who now realize I'm utterly 
stoopid.

All I really wanted was to install KHealthCare so I could monitor my CPU 
temp. (sigh) I probably have 6-8 hours into it by now. And I'm on the 4th 
package involved (none of which have installed according to the 
instructions).

Thanks for your help,
Michael
