I would have assumed that you need *some* libstdc++ to run the BOINC client at all. But often an old one. Maybe RHEL5 is a good example? It's still supported, it uses libc 2.5, and only supports libstdc++ up to 3.4.8. > This is something that happens when you run a 10 years old distro, at some > point somebody will say you "this new version might not build anymore on your > old pc, patch it yourself or upgrade your pc" > > (I don't want to be rude, but I really don't like this kind of workarounds!) Sure, but then as a BOINC project, you lose a lot of users, who don't want to upgrade their machines, and will choose a project which ships applications which work for them.. - Alyssa _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
