Install the package/port gcc42.

I have said this to the list before. Surely any port that uses gcc4.2 or such like HAS to have it listed as RUN_DEPENDS or LIB_DEPENDS as well as BUILD_DEPENDS. And this needs to be fixed at the ports/Mk level. How can the naive user be expected to know to install gcc42. (Even if you are running FreeBSD 7.x, this comes an issue with any port that uses FORTRAN.)

I have always rolled my own and am unfamiliar with packages. This particular package would appear to have been built against a librart version that is not installed on FreeBSD-6. If I have somehow erred, please point out my error.

Is this package buggy?

Shouldn't packages link against /usr/lib/libstdc++.so and so follow the softlinks that the system provides?

On my system:

$ openoffice.org-2.3.1-scalc
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libstdc++.so.6" not found, required by "javaldx" /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libstdc++.so.6" not found, required by "pagein" /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libstdc++.so.6" not found, required by "soffice.bin"


$ ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1585324 Jan 11 05:55 /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Jan 11 05:55 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.5
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   803928 Jan 11 05:55 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1577098 Jan 11 05:55 /usr/lib/libstdc++_p.a

Thanks,
Jason
