Nonon, when you run ldd on the compiled apt it will see that apt is linked against libstdc++2.9 and libpkg. It will then look at libpkg and see it is linked with libstc++2.8! So you end up with ldd outputing two lines for each libstdc++ and then you will have it depened on both libstdc++2.8 and libstdc++2.9. The LDD_LIBRARY_PATH is designed to get rid of the 2.8 dependency. jason
