I think glibc (run /lib/libc.so.6 to determine C library version) version and libstdc++ are important as well as another thread shows. It looks like gcc 3.3.x and before used libstdc++ 5 while more modern versions use libstdc++ 6. Compiling newer version of libstdc++ locally doesn't always help. As for gcc version, I am quite sure that the code which compiles on the latest versions does compile on the older ones. I use gcc 4.1.1 and try to use the most recent software. Binaries created on the most recent versions may not work on the old installations. Hmm... when we talk about it anything may be important. Glibc and kernel have header files, they also change often. And while kernel header files are normally used only for compiling kernel modules, changes in them sometimes affect user applications which use something which they shouldn't use which is kernel specific. -- Gregory Shimansky, Intel Middleware Products Division --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
