Bill,
You say you are running Mandrake 7.1? I just set up
my new system with the same distro, and when I tried
to compile AbiWord, I get a linker error saying that
lstdc++ cannot be found. This install is only a few
days old, with no new libs installed. Any thoughts
you may have? /usr/lib _does_ contain several
versions of libstdc++ object files, and I have run
ldconfig after deleting ld.so.cache. /usr/lib is
present in ld.so.conf.
Thanks,
Dave
I know....a little OT from this list =8-)

Since I gave up hope, I feel much better.
