Don't symlink libraries like that. It may work sometimes if you're lucky, but not at all reliably. > The FAQ on the Network Associates website said the lib is not > installed be default and the explain how it is on the RedHat CD.

You give it a package name and it goes off, finds it, and installs it. So you could say 'apt-get install libstdc++2.8'. If you've already downloaded the package, you don't need a retrieval agent. You just use the package manager directly: dpkg -i libstdc++2.8_2.90.29-1_i386.deb (-i is short for --install.) > A side question, does anyone know of an open-source virus-scanner that > does not require a third party scanner? There are some around. Try http://www.openantivirus.org/ for starters. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
