I found the package containing the standard C++ libraries. It is on the Mandrake installation CD under Mandrake/RPMS. The name of the package is: libstdc++-2.95.2-3mdk.i586.rpm. I have installed it and it seems to be fine now, Gabor -----Original Message----- From: David van Balen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 3:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] C++ libraries I think you're right.
