Hi, I'm running ubuntu 9.10 which has gcc4 (libstdc++6) installed, and I need to install a program that requires libstdc++5 that comes with gcc3. I don't see gcc-3 listed when I run "apt-cache search" so:

  • Is it necessary to install gcc-3 to achieve libstdc++5 ? If so where can I get it ?
  • Is there a way to install just libstdc++5
  • Would a soft link to libstdc++6 do or is it not recommended ?

Thanks
