KDE-Forum.org

(First of all, I'm new here and I apologize if I'm posting my question in a wrong place.)

I'm having a very annoying problem:

I did a clean install of Fedora 8, which comes with KDE 3.5.8. It appears that it's linked to libstdc++.so.6. Everything worked fine until I installed a the rpm that provides libstdc++.so.5 (compat-libstdc++-33). I did it because some of my other applications, like the intel compiler icc/ifort/idb depend on libstdc++.so.5. Then most KDE applications stopped working, e.g. kate, kompare, kdevelop, ..., all of them will crash right after being started (it goes right to KDE Crash Handler). After I delete the libstdc++.so.5 from /usr/lib, everything works well again.

In one word, KDE applications will crash once libstdc++.so.5 is there. But I do need libstdc++.so.5 for some of my other important applications ....

Is there any way to allow libstdc++.so.5 without corrupting KDE?

Great thanks!

Problem resolved --

I had another library which is incompatible with libstdc++.so.5 ... and everything was fine again after I removed it.
