After installing dmd on a Linux 8.0 (/etc/dmd.conf /dmd) I get the error
message

  ~/ddev # dmd hello.d
  dmd: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared
object file: No such
file or directory

When I add a symbolic link to the available
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
I get:

  ~/ddev # dmd hello.d
  dmd: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by
dmd)
  dmd: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by
dmd)
  dmd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by dmd)

As a relative Linux newbe my questions:

  - What external systems (gcc? libc? ...) does dmd need?
    Is this documented? Maybe the requirements on 
       <http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html>
    should be adapted.

  - Is there already a description how to solve this problems?
    (I suppose I'm neither the first nor the only one who runs in this)

  - Can someone point me to a general description how to update such
    components without risking the stability of a running system?

Which Linux do you use? Debian, Slackware, RedHat?

dmd works fine on my Slack and Fedora.

You must check if you have libstdc++ installed in your system. In my slack
there is a link (libstdc++.so.5) pointing to the file libstdc++.so.5.0.6.

You may have better luck if you post on the digitalmars.D newsgroup.

It's Suse 8.0 (gcc 2.95)
 
 dmd works fine on my Slack and Fedora.

 You must check if you have libstdc++ installed in your system. In my slack
 there is a link (libstdc++.so.5) pointing to the file libstdc++.so.5.0.6.


It also works fine on an different PC with Suse 9.1 (gcc 3.33)
  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.5

 You may have better luck if you post on the digitalmars.D newsgroup.


I know the other group, but I thought I should ask here first.

Bruno, thank you for your help.
