Re: [ferret_users] Fwd: Installation of Ferret on Fedora Core 4

[Martin Schmidt <martin.schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another solution would be to "borrow" this library (and possibly some 
more) from a later linux release.
I had the same problem some time ago and only one dynamically linked lib 
was missing.

You may place the library file either in the system where your own 
version of libstdc++ resides but the system admininstrator
may not be happy about this. Alternatively put it to some other place, 
possibly somewhere in
the ferret path, say /your_installation/ferret/missing_libs. Write a 
short wrapper script, say "call_ferret", that calls ferret.
Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in  this script to point to the position of this 
library before the ferret binary is called.

#!\bin/bash
export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/your_installation/ferret/missing_libs
ferret

Now make "call_ferret" executable and start ferret by calling this script.
This should work. Please ask your system wizzard about the usage of 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH.

Best,
Martin
