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).
