You can always configure and build gcc and then copy libgfortran.so.1.0.0 and its symlinks to i.e. /usr/local/lib[64]. Another option is to install the gcc-suite with --prefix=/opt/gcc-x.y.z, run 'make -n' before installing to ensure nothing gets overwritten by accident. > Easier for me would be a soft link.

Usually the so-version is bumped on a library when changes in the library interface has made it incompatible with the previous version. Adding symlinks like that will probably generate segfaults sooner or later. > Why the package libgfortran1 for the latter is available for i386 > lenny and not amd64 lenny? Is any backports for the latter? Hmm, I only find libgfortran.so.1 in Etch. Is your libgfortran.so.1 in i386 something left from an dist upgrade? > Thanks > francesco // Anders > On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 9:45 PM, Anders Lövgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thursday 28 August 2008 20.44.39 Francesco Pietra wrote: > >> Hi: > >> While working with a gnu docking package, I am finding several > >> instances where amd64 lenny discovers errors in binaries compiled with > >> other linuxes, though offered for amd64.
