I am trying to install RealVNC on a number of different systems that we'll be using. There's no problem with Windows, but on Linux, on a number of systems ask for libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. On my system, that file is a symlink to libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so. As I understand that, it means that I can use a symlink like this in most cases and not have a problem.
I'm not a C programmer, but from what I've gleaned, as long as the symlink is to a late enough library there isn't a problem. What I need to do is work out an algorithm for what file I should symlink to. For example, I don't know what the "3" in the 2nd filename represents and if it is important. If I can just list the library directories with wildcards, get a list of files, and sort them so the last one has the highest value, then link to that, it'd be great. What are the rules for these types of symlinks? Should I just look for any version of the library that is the same or greater? Do I pay attention to the version numbers after the "++-" and before the "libc"? Or do I only have to pay attention to the numbers after "libc" and the ".so" at then end? What criteria do I use to try to determine which file I should symlink to? Thanks for any help on this!
