I just finished recovering from a disaster, and I would relly appreciate any guesses (or just beter knowledge?) about the possible source of my disaster. The main symptom was that a large fraction of my executeables just stopped working, all claiming to be missing libstdc++. I tried emerging gcc again, and even tried to bring back an older one (from gcc-4.0.3) but that didn't work, and the only libstdc++ package didn't seem to fix it either. I finally mounted a memory image off the livecd, and copied all the libstdc++ files (and made the various linkks, until ldconfig seemed pleased with me, and all my apps started to work again.
My guess here is that some emerge package did this, perhaps one of the recent java things I installed, because I had interrupted the installation once of twice while things were ongoing, as I figured things out. Anyone have any better notions how I managed this? Thanks -- [email protected] mailing list
