Linux Compat - LIBSTDC++.SO.5 - Call Of Duty

[Nick Pavlica]

All,
I'm trying to get the Call of Duty Dedicated server running on
FreeBSD 5.3. To do get an error when I run the daemon which is caused
by issue below. Are there compatibility libs in the ports collection?
If not should I use the libs from this link? If so where to I put
them?

Thanks!

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH "LIBSTDC++.SO.5" ...

If you are reading this, it's probably because you tried to start your Linux
server and saw this message:

./coduo_lnxded: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

COD:UO is a C++ program built with gcc 3.2.3, which means it needs a
system library specific to gcc 3.2. Older Linux systems won't have
this installed, and we're starting to see newer Linux distributions that
don't have this either, since they are supplying an incompatible
gcc 3.4 version. The good news is that you can drop the needed library
into your system without breaking anything else.

Here is the library you need, if your Linux distribution doesn't supply it:
[url]http://icculus.org/updates/cod/gcc3-libs.tar.bz2[/url]

You want to unpack that somewhere that the dynamic linker will see it
(if you are sure it won't overwrite any files, you can even use /lib).

You need a newer version of linux_base. I recommend linux_base-rh9.
After upgrading that, you'll probably need to install linux-XFree86-libs
as they are no longer a part of linux_base.
