RE: Help installing testing tarball from 25 July 2007 on red hat ent. linux 5, amd64

[Dr. Phyllis R. Nelson]

Dmitri and all,

I've made another try.  Could it be that the fortran libraries are the problem, 
not the version of gcc?

the foo.cc program in README.linux gives

It appears that it was a false alarm -- you are using gcc 4.1.1,
but it salso appears it tries to link to the wrong libstdc++ (?)

I do not know what is the best way to proceed except un-installing
compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-4

(rpm -e compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-4)

But that is circumventing the problem rather than solving it...
Is your system up-to-date with updates?

Dmitri.
