wxPython & Fedora Core 4

Hi guys,

Has anyone installed wxPython on Fedora Core 4. Apparently it need
the libstdc++.so.5 file while Fedora installs the newer libstdc++.so.6
file. I tried installing the libstdc rpm from fedora core 3 which would
have installed the required file but Fedora does not allow multiple
versions of the same file . Man this is frustrating. Help desparately
required....... ...
Thanks

Try Ubuntu Linux, which does allow having libstdc++.so.5 and .6
installed, on the same system, using the package manager.

Fedora _does_ allow multiple versions of that library, but apparently
not via it's package manager. Nobody is stopping you from getting the
file and putting it on your system.

You could also recompile the wxPython RPMs, so they link to your
version of the library.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

You can install compat-libstdc++-33 (part of FC4), which has
libstdc++.so.5. However, since your wxPython package wasn't built for
FC4, you make run into other problems.

That should be solved by recompiling the wxPython RPMs.
