Shared Library Woes

Re-extracted it, looked closer, and saw that it's just a link; extracted the link target, copied that as the link name, ran ldconfig, ran the installer, found it; whew.
I couldn't imagine that Gentoo didn't have this somewhere, so went back and searched the forums. Didn't find it. Googled for it, saying 'libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 site:gentoo.org'. Found it, it's in lib_compat. emerged that, and life's good.
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. Found what I thought was the Gentoo package, but all were masked. Set ~x86 in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in /etc/make.conf, emerged, and tried the installer again; no luck. Googled, and found that the file is part of the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package; did emerge search, but didn't find it. qpkg -f libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 turned up nothing. Googled again, found libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 in a .deb file on packages.debian.org.

ar file, that contains .tar.gz files. No sweat, extracted the file, the installer didn't find it; remembered to run ldconfig; didn't find it; looked for the file; didn't find it. what!?

Sounds like Windows DLLs are less of a pain...
Perhaps. Providing what you need is certainly less of a pain. Sun didn't. An improvement would be a better way to know where a certain file is, package-wise. I mentioned qpkg, but that only reports on installed files, so it was of no help this time. But I also learned better how to find things, so the length of this affair would be much shorter next time.
