[ROOT] libstdc++

Hi rooters,

I have some technical questions.

Normally I work on OSF1 and all is fine.

But I tried to use root v2.23/12 also on a Redhat Linux 5.1 based PC and got the 
corresponding root distribution file "root_v2.23.Linux.2.2.13.egcs111.tar.gz".

After unpacking, untaring, setting ROOTSYS and PATH I get the following error 
message while starting root:

root: error in loading shared libraries
libstdc++.so.2.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On my system there is only libstdc++.so.2.8 available.

I got the 2.9 version of libstdc++ and put it in the root/lib directory.

Now root starts without this message and seems to function well.

But there came up another problem:
If I compile my root based applications I get the following warning

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.2.9, needed by /mnt/stage/root/lib/libNew.so, may conflict with libstdc++.so.2.8

Can I ignore this, or may it lead to serious problems ?

Thanks in advance,

Tim
