Description Hypnos 2008-01-03 22:52:02 UTC

I have both gcc-3.4.6 and gcc-4.1.1 installed in my system, with the latter selected as my default compiler.

However, with the gcc-3.4.6 first in my /etc/ld.so.conf, I get the following linker error:

/opt/skype/skype: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by /opt/skype/skype)
/opt/skype/skype: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.4' not found (required by /opt/skype/skype)

With gcc-4.1.1 listed first (and re-running ldconfig), Skype works fine.  None of my other software, whether binary or compiled with gcc-4.1.1, seems to care.

We can fix exactly nothing w/ Skype.

I got the same error messages, but I have gcc-3.4.6 and gcc-4.1.2 installed, and gcc-3.4.6 was my default gcc. After setting my default gcc to 4.1.2 using gcc-config, skype runs fine.
