Hello all,

Happy new year!

I would like to run jikes on my RH 5.0 linux box, but jikes wants
libstdc++-2.8, while the current rpm contains libstdc++-2.7 and ...-2.9,
but not 2.8. :(

I've tried downloading the source to build libstdc++-2.8 but 
the build failed; some obscure (to me) message about "no source
file dummy.c; required for dummy.o" or some such.

I've searched for libstdc++-2.8 without luck. Does someone have a
copy of the 2.8 rpm that I can copy?

On a related note, perhaps jikes should be bundled with the libstdc++
which it wants; I symlinked 2.8 to 2.9 and jikes dies with a "symbol
not found." Is it usual for apps to be bundled with specific library
versions, or more usual that they aren't?

Many thanks for any advice,
Robert Dodier
