The complaint is:

Error: Package 'Standard C++ library' was found but was of the wrong version and the correct version could not be located.

[IV 3 for @gnu.org/libstdc++]

Perhaps if I had let it run as root it might have worked.

autopackage is way cool but it isn't yet working in FC4 in my home directory as far as I can tell. It's trying to work....

Mike, any idea what this is about?

See this page:

http://autopackage.org/help.html

The solution is to run "yum install compat-libstdc++-33" as root.

Fedora dropping libstdc++.so.5 so quickly and with such blatant disregard for binary compatibility caught us off-guard. A solution for this problem will appear in the next stable release of autopackage (1.0.6), which will come out either:

a) At the weekend, if I get time to do it

or

b) When Hongli gets out of lazy-mode :)

Basically the "fix" involves us simply registering an autopackage repository containing the libstdc++.so.X libraries so that if they're missing it can depsolve them onto the system automatically.

Thanks for bearing with us while we deal with the mess Red Hat and other distros have made (this change breaks the official Mozilla installer, most games, RealPlayer ... virtually everything).

thanks -mike
