libstdc++.so.2.10 and a project i should not have started.

[ezroller]

okay, so I found this really cool lookin replacement for the pager in any WM. Its called 3ddesktop

 

http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/images/car1.jpg

 

I installed from rpm, and it pisses and moans about not finding

libstdc++.so.2.10

 

well, I looked on rpmfind.net and could only find a package for PLD distro.

running locate will yield

 

[ezroller@omniscience ezroller]$ locate libstdc++.so.2.10

[ezroller@omniscience ezroller]$

 

NOTHING. however

 

[ezroller@omniscience ezroller]$ locate libstdc++.so

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.0.4/libstdc++.so

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/2.96/libstdc++.so

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3.0.4

[ezroller@omniscience ezroller]$

 

 

I am assuming my version is newer, and I have the latest version of 3ddesktop.

There are no config files for me to edit in 3ddesktop either to point it to this.

 

anyone know where I should take this?

[ezroller]

Ah glorious success. well, i installed the rpm for the "other" distro and it works!

 

albeit is slow as all hell...and i mean like S...L....O.....W.

 

If I can get it working at a normal speed, I think I'm gonna write a how-to for this.

[ezroller]

My ignorance amazes me sometimes. I have never had DRI installed. Well, it is now. now i can play quake at 1024x768 too! Holy Sh*t

 

only thing is though...glx info gives me an error message now:

 

 

 

[ezroller@omniscience ezroller]$ glxinfo

glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[ezroller@omniscience ezroller]$

 

do i need to relink something...or something?

[ezroller]

well, it seems as though glxinfo nor this 3ddesktop app know where to find libglu. is there a way to update the path that all thse apps are looking in? glxgears works fine and quake does as well, so i know everything is installed right.

 

i know for certain

 

[root@omniscience stuff]# locate libGLU.so.1

/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1

/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.401

if glx gears and quake work fine then glxinfo should work as well, can't see why it wouldn't.

very strange :!:

 

Had a look a the man pages but no info there.

[ezroller]

yeah, i dunno where to take this. Since all of my apps are working better than usual, I'm gonna leave it be and come back to it in a few days with a clear head.
