Re: [cx-freeze-users] static lib vs shared?

[Anthony T. <an...@co...>]

It sounds to me like the version of libstdc++ in use by Red Hat 7.3
differs from the one in use by Red Hat 8.0. You can perform "ldd" on the
wxPython binaries in both systems and you should note that they
reference different shared libraries. So yes, either have the libstdc++
on your old machine upgraded __OR__ copy just the relevant libstdc++
file from the new system into your package and use the ConsoleSetLibPath
base executable. Unfortunately due to the rapid pace of development of
Linux, some of these "common" system shared libraries differ greatly
from one distribution to the next or from one year to the next.
