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!

Hal
