The .run package is compiled on a rhel3 jail with gcc-3.2 and depends on libstdc++.so.5. The reason is that this package should be compatible with a much Linux distributions as possible. The other Linux packages are compiled within an apropriate jail, for instance, the Ubuntu Hardy package is compiled with gcc-4.2.3 and depends on libstdc++.so.6. Which Linux distribution are you using? Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/
