How can that happen? The problems I've seen related to this were usually because Steam overrides the system libstdc++ / libgcc with older versions, which breaks other system libraries. Can somebody please tell Valve that doing that is not okay? And it's not necessary either. Each library can be compared to the system version individually and only overridden when necessary, e.g. by putting each library into its own directory and only adding the necessary directories to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. E.g. VMware use this approach in their products. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
