Install xIRC on redhat9

[codecref]

Hi guys
i'm trying to install xIRC on my redhat9, I've got gcc ver 2.9 installed already however xIrc-2.3.8-1.i386.rpm file gives following error and it ask for libstdcs++-libc6.1-2.so.3

[root@localhost xirc]# rpm -ivh xIrc-2.3.8-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by xIrc-2.3.8-1


which I already have installed and check it by

[root@localhost xirc]# ldconfig -v |grep libstdc++
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
[root@localhost xirc]#

but its still doesn't accept the file, actually I found this library and installing instruction from this website :

http://www.pxh.de/fs/gsmlib/download/content.html

Please help me here because I am newbie and I never could install a thing on my redhat

Thanks.
Seyed.

Do you have a symbolic link

libstdcs++-libc6.1-2.so

in the same location?

If not, create it:

ln -s libstdcs++-libc6.1-2.so.3 libstdcs++-libc6.1-2.so

If there is already a link, but pointing to another location - i.e. libstdcs++-libc6.1-2.so.2 you can try to change it to the new location - maybee other programs will suffer, but I don't think so.

Something that may also be helpful in library related problems is to run 'ldconfig'. It should freshen up all the symlinks in your lib dirs. Useful if you roll your own libs and put them somewhere (maybe /opt/foo/lib or something 'non-standard') and want all programs to be able to use them is to put your path in /etc/ld.so.conf.
