Now build process automatically detects correct libstdc++ version (and termcap support library version too) when creating rpm.

Sorry - I've mentioned it as CORE1421 in all commits.

well, i see this issue is closed/fixed, but i get a dependency error when trying to install Linux Classic Server 2.1 rpm on my Fedora 8 system.

The rpm was FirebirdCS-2.1.0.17798-0.i686.rpm which i downloaded today from this page:

http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=files&id=engine_210

and the link was the first in the "Linux X86" section. The link resolves to:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/firebird/FirebirdCS-2.1.0.17798-0.i686.rpm

When i try to install it on my fedora 8 system (with all updates/patches applied), i get this dependency error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#⁠ rpm -ivh FirebirdCS-2.1.0.17798-0.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by FirebirdCS-2.1.0.17798-0.i686
#⁠
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I myself don't know how to get this library on my Fedora system. I don't see anything in Fedora yum repository, or on Livna, for instance.. I'd appreciate any help because I'd sure like to try Firebird but I'm dead in the water on the 1st step.

Jeff, sorry, but you have not read the text carefully.

Pay attention to word _BUILD_, that problem is really fixed - if you build
rpm yourself, you will get correct (for your binary) libstdc++.so.6
dependency. Binaries on SF are built with v.5 to make it possible to use them on old linuxes. That old versions will never support newer libraries, therefore - need to build with older ones.

I do not know where can you get rpm for Fedora8, containing libstdc++.so.5. This question should be asked in Fedora support lists.
