I am making one last attempt with the great hope that someone, somewhere has
figured this libraries issue out. Almost any program coming with libraries
slightly different version than MDK ones fails to install, regardless of what
I attempt to do. Last example is qtopia's RPM, which I NEED like air, for my
Zaurus, but which install (unlike 9.0) breaks now in MDK9.1, with the
following message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] utilities]# urpmi qtopia-desktop-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm
installing qtopia-desktop-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm
Installation failed:
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by qtopia-desktop-1.6.1-1
I have tried everything one can imagine, in regards to previously posted
advices, from creating symlinks to existing libs, to modifying
/etc/ld.so.conf, to rerunning ldconfig ... etc. I almost envy winblows users
now, who can install multiple versions of dll-s in the directories of the
executables, and they run programs fine. I have been trying to keep the
system "urpmi database" friendly, but this way I won't be able to install
different libraries, as installing the ones I need, from source, would
probably have undesired effects.
What are you - people - doing with the programs requiring different libraries
than what MDK provides? Or are you using only MDK packaged programs?
Another perfect example of something needed, but impossible to install in
MDK9.1: nagios 1.1 (the www part), which - yet again - cannot install because
of the same issue of libraries (and - by the way - the packagers from MDK
decided - for some weird reasons - to have the nagios 1.0 install all over
the place, vs. the docs provided with the source, which

P.S. Speaking of nagios - the person who contributed the nagios packag for
MDK9.1 decided - for some weird reasons - to have the nagios 1.0 install all
over the place, vs. the docs provided with the source, which are based on a
/usr/local/nagios consolidated directory install. I spent almost a week
adjusting all config files to take into account the new "placement", MDK9.1
specific, and I (hope) documented everything. If anybody is interested, I can
clean the docs up and send them over. What a PITA that was!!!
