[aclug-L] problems compiling C++ programs

[Jesse Kaufman <kaufmjes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having problems compiling C++ programs that i write...  it gave me
the following errors when i typed "g++ prog1.C"

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libm.so.6, needed by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so, may
conflict with lib.so.5
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libm.so.6, needed by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so, may
conflict with lib.so.5

1.) what does this mean?
2.) how can i remedy this?

the only major changes i've made since installation was upgrading to
libc-5.4.46 through a .tar.gz file instead of an rpm, because the rpm
said i needed ld.so-1.9.9 something, and when i tried to install the
updated ld.so rpm, it gave me errors saying that it conflicts w/
existing files...  i have very little understanding of this stuff, so
please be patient, and explain in english what i've done/need to do.

thank you,
jesse
