Staden 1.4 and Suse 9

Last modified on July 24, 2026 • 1 min read • 102 words I installed today the new Staden package (version 1.4) to my Suse 9. I included the lines:export STADENROOT=/usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4 . $STADENROOT/staden.profilein my ~/.bashrc file.After this kprinter broke with the following error:kprinter: /usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4/lib/linux-binaries/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/kde3/lib/kprinter.so)Apparently the usual file (/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5) is not anymore used because the staden linux-binary directory is listed in the PATH variable in the very beginning and thus overrides all other entries. Thus I replaced /usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4/lib/linux-binaries/libstdc++.so.5 and libstdc++.so.5.0.1 by symbolic links to /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5:cd /usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4/lib/linux-binariessudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 libstdc++.so.5.0.1sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 libstdc++.so.5So far at least printing works without error messages, but I have not tried staden yet…
