'Failed dependencies'

[fatboyjim]

I am trying to install Everybuddy from www.everybuddy.com so I can use an MSN program from Linux

It's a fresh install of Mandrake 9

However, when trying to install Everybuddy I get the following...

[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uvh everybuddy-0.4.3-1.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.4 is needed by everybuddy-0.4.3-1
libstdc++.so.4(GLIBCPP_3.1) is needed by everybuddy-0.4.3-1
[root@localhost Desktop]#


How do I fix this? (Presumably by installing libstdc++ and its friend, but how on earth I do that I don't know

Thanks,

Check the Mandrake 9 cd's. It might be on of those, and if, possibily in .rpm format. HTH

Thanks for the reply floppyman,

libstdc++4 apparently is the older version, with 5 being the newest, so I was advised to compile from source which I tried to do but various things failed

You can read my pretty much identical post at linuxforums.org (http://www.linuxforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=2897)

At the above post we've nearly sorted it :D

Anyway, I figure I might just reformat the linux partitions and start afresh because whenever I try to access /mnt/nt now the Linux system crashes!
