Need to install libstdc++-5 on ubuntu 9.10

  • 772

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 which has gcc4 (libstdc++6) installed, and I need to install a program that requires libstdc++5 that comes with gcc3. I don't see gcc-3 listed when I run "apt-cache search" so:

  • Is it necessary to install gcc-3 to achieve libstdc++5 ? If so where can I get it ?
  • Is there a way to install just libstdc++5
  • Would a soft link to libstdc++6 do or is it not recommended ?

Thanks

ubuntu library gcc

    libstdc++5 isn't available in Ubuntu 9.10 (was available in universe in previous versions). You can try install the jaunty version - at a quick glance doesn't look like there'll be any dependency/conflict issues with that.
