Hi,
Because of an application we had to upgrade our C++ compiler to
6.0. This requires a newer revision of libcxx.so as we have not
upgraded to DUnix 4.0D. The kit installs the new one into
/usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx. This is far from optimal as the application
contains precopmpiled binaries (which look at /usr/shlib/libcxx.so).
I know I can work around this by wrapper scripts, but it's ugly,
tedious, etc. Instead I just moved the new libcxx.so to the standard
place (/usr/shlib -- of course saving the original libcxx.so).
Was this a stupid idea? So far nothing seems to be broken. Soon
the machine will go up to 4.0D (through a scratch install, NOT an upgrade),
but I don't want to do it right now. We are just not ready for it.
Will the whole OS blow up? How much of the OS needs libcxx.so? We
don't run any other 3rd party application, etc.
Thanks,
Gyula
