AFAIK, libg++ is obsolete, and that may be the reason why Mandrake doesn't ship with it. On http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/extensions.html it says: Libg++, the GNU C++ library, is an attempt to provide a variety of C++ programming tools and other support to GNU C++ programmers. It has been available for quite some time now, and, although it has been superseded by libstdc++, it is still providing some useful services. And, it has proven to be a good testsuite for the compiler... and on http://www.cygnus.com/~manfredh/libgxx/ it says: 2000/11/26: - Now that libstdc++ V3 is the default in gcc, I decided to no longer support libg++. In short, you really don't need it. You can find a source tar-ball at the later URL, if you really REALLY want it.
