Acording to the mandrake control center i have... automake-1.5-8, kdebase-3.0.3-68mdk and kdelibs-devel-3.0.330mdk
That did cross my mind, but I wasn't able to find the .so.4 RPM's anywhere for download. The author said he used mandrake 8.3 and i'm using mandrake 9.0. Other then running a more updated library, i don't think there is much of a difference. Somewhere in my pile of disks i have mandrake 8.2 on cdrom. However, I think they were running lib.so.3 on that distro, but maybe i am wrong. Would i have to do an ldconfig after I installed those RPMs?
I also tried creating a symbolic link from libstd++.so4 to libstd++.so5 but that didn't work for the installation.,
