Summary: Cannot ./configure on FC3 with gcc 3.4.2

Initial Comment:
Trying to run ./configure fails with the message:

configure: error: cannot run C++ compiled programs.

The config.log file reports:

version 'GCC_3.3' not found (required by
usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

FC3 is delivered with gcc 3.4.2.

What is the best path to a fix for this?  Must I
regress to an older compiler?

The fc3 group begs to differ with the assessment.  Perhaps
someone can comment on the response to Buzilla 146563.  If
this bug is closed again, that's fine.  I do not think I
would try to reopen it.

/usr/local/abinitio/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not
found (required by
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

/usr/local/abinitio/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 is not part of Fedora
Core, and is
older than the system libgcc_s.so.1 in /lib/.
The bug is that you are thus overriding a system library
with an incompatible
(well, in this case likely just older) one.
You need to avoid that.
In this particular case I guess just rm -f
/usr/local/abinitio/lib/libgcc_s*
would DTRT (perhaps make a backup copy of that).

But it is certainly not a bug in the distro, but a problem
caused by badly
packaged 3rd party software.

This is clearly a bug in your gcc installation - perhaps
some library is not up-to-date, or libstdc++ was compiled
with the wrong compiler. You should report this to the FC3
developers.

As a work-around, you can configure your Python --without-cxx.
