Hi, I recently got a new machine and installed debian on it. Unfortunately I got a radeon video card which uses version 8.41.7 of the fglrx driver. The silly people at radeon compiled it such that it needs libstdc++5 and hence linking with /usr/lib/libGL.so requires libstdc++5, however libGLU and libGLUT e.t.c. require libstdc++6 and when I compile my own opengl applications I get the following warning:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.5, needed by /usr/lib/libGL.so , may conflict with libstdc++.so.6 or I get the reverse warning if I use libstdc++5 to compile: /usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.6, needed by /usr/lib/libGLU.so , may conflict with libstdc++.so.5 The resulting executable sometimes works and sometimes does not and most of the time it starts works until some point and then seg faults. Can anyone sugges some way to work around this problem? Basically I can download the mesa opengl library, but how can I tell it to compile and link with libstdc++.so.5, and then how do I make my compilation/linking use this version of the mesa library instead of the system default? Thanks for any help. Kaloyan
