ATI driver install issue (libstdc missing)

[jdvuyk]

Hello,

After messing around with my fedora installation to get it setup and running ok I have come accross a problem while having a go installing the latest ATI driver via Livna. I did a "yum update" before running the following command:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install ati-fglrx kernel-module-fglrx

It seems that there is something wrong with libstdc++. How the heck can I resolve this problem and install the ATI drivers? Machine seems to be running fine aside from this. All help appreciated. Cheers.

Did you try installing the libstdc++ manually? yum install libstdc++

[jdvuyk]

yes, i tried that and it just responds with a message that says it cant find the package. I tried both yum and apt to get this reinstalled and both just cant find a suitable package. Any other ideas?

Shouldnt yum try to resolve these problems anyway? The reason that it bails out is that it cant find a suitable package. Therefor a "yum install libstdc++" shouldnt achive much as its already automatically tried that.

This is a serious pain. Can I install it using any other method?

Cheers

I believe you need the compat-libstdc++ package

Yeah, I saw that in another post. I tried a "yum install compat-libstdc++" (and a few other permutations of that file name) and again nothing was installed.

What repos should I have for this? On just looking at my own post it appears that I only have the livna repos available. Is this enough or should I have another repo setup for this package? if so, which repo?

Cheers for all responses.

I beleive that the only one you really need is the fedora.repo file under your /etc/yum.repos.d directory. That should have been enabled on your first set of updates. If you haven't updated yet do that and then run 'yum install compat-libstc++'.

I would suggest, to configure your yum.conf as described in http://www.fedorafaq.org

After you configure it as described there, try to run the yum install packagename again!

It should work
