We're actually in the process of moving to 5.2, as we need the Solaris 9 support, so that's a good sign --- I'll let you all know how it goes on Linux with JFS, or whatever FS we go with.

$ ls /usr/lib/libstd*
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0

I don't know how I got that on gentoo.  How do I list what ebuild a file belongs to?

I don't remember copying it from another system, but I do specifically remember running:

ldd /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc

Its not a symlink or a hardlink, I *thought* it came with my gcc install, but I just compiled libstd++ manually, and I didn't get it.  The file sizes are all different for the above listed files.  I'm kind of puzzled where it came from now.

Tangentially related question: does gentoo currently allow headless (serial only) installs, or do I still need a video card?
