Re: Lilypond 2.6.1 on Gentoo: libstdc++

[Daniel Johnson]

Dear Martin --

I think you're going to have to do one of two things:

1. Upgrade to gcc 3.4 (unstable).  The following page will be helpful:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Migrate_to_GCC_3.4
(Current stable gcc *[3.3.5.20050130-r1]* in portage maxes out at
libstdc++.so.5.0.7)

*OR*

2. Remove the autopackage and build lilypond from source; it's not too
painful unless you need to build the documentation as well.  There's an
ebuild here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97574
If you're not concerned about building documentation, edit the ebuild
and lower the guile version requirements to 1.6.7 (my ebuild requires
guile-1.7.2 from CVS; building *that* is left as the proverbial exercise
for the reader).
Rename the ebuild to the version number you want to build; the given
ebuild is for 2.7.0 but it should work fine for any of the 2.6/2.7 series.
