CentOS - gcc path question
 

Hi,

Was wondering if someone out there could help me out.

Currently the CentOS packages and the kernel/kernel drivers are compiled on the CentOS default compiler which is gcc 3.4.5. The application code we use is compiled on gcc 4.0.3. Unfortunately, upgrading the kernel compiler to gcc 4.0.3 is not an option.

When I installed the kernel and applications in /usr/lib, I see libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.3

I need the libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.7.

3.4.5 doesn't have the 1.3.1 ABI symbols.

I manually copied over the library 6.0.7 and manually linked them. Not sure if that is the way to go. I think there is a way to put the 4.0.3 path ahead of the 3.4.5 path so that the libstdc will point to the new library. But not sure how to do that.

Any ideas how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks...

try
RPM -qi gcc

I knew that it was running gcc 3.4.5. I'm trying to link it with gcc 4.0.3

For example:

I copied over libstdc++.so.6.0.7 and manually linked it. Before doing that, it was linked to libstdc++.so.6.0.3.

[root@DXi3500-Arcade lib]# ls -al libstdc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 28 14:25 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 796392 Dec 31 2005 libstdc++.so.6.0.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 878588 Jul 28 12:55 libstdc++.so.6.0.7

I have both 3.4.5 and 4.0.3 compilers loaded. But by default after the compilation is done, the kernel defaults to 3.4.5 because that is the first one in the environment PATH.

The application will be compiled on version 4.0.3 we switch to it.
