Description Matteo Sasso 2003-08-27 07:54:03 UTC

Maya 4.5 for Linux is built to run on a RedHat 7.2 or later. Gentoo's libstdc++ is not 
100% compatible with RedHat's (not even library-compat's!), and for this reason Maya 
aborts with the following error message: 
 
/usr/aw/maya4.5/bin/maya.bin: relocation error: /usr/aw/maya4.5/lib/libTranslators.so: 
undefined symbol: __dynamic_cast_2 
 
A quick search shows that our libstdc++'s have __dynamic_cast but not 
__dynamic_cast_2. It would be nice to have a higher compatibility and get that symbol 
in the lib just like RedHat's. 
In the mean time I'm trying to see if a quick and dirty workaround (copy the lib from a 
RH installation and load with LD_PRELOAD) solves the problem. Maybe this could 
implemented in a library-compat-rh sort of ebuild. I'll keep you informed.

The workaround works fine...
