>I've got a C++ app developed using egcs-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2), developed on 
>a RedHat 6.2 box.
>The application includes various shared libraries that make use 
>of  various STL facilities
>This app is linked against libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so (revealed via ldd).
>The binaries run fine on this and other RH 6.2 boxes.

>Taking this same set of binaries (i.e. a binary installation package) to a 
>Mandrake 7.0 machine and attempting to run results in (I assume) the 
>dynamic linker complaining that "...default_alloc_template...blah blah" is 
>unresolved.  Looks like trouble in STL land.  The Mandrake machine paths 
>the libstdc++ to libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so.

>The Mandrake system appears to have a later version libstdc++ which is not 
>compatible  with the RH 6.2 libstdc++ (?)
