Try upgrading your shared libraries to libc.so.4.3.2 or later -
version 4.3.3 is the most recent. Read the release notes carefully
before installing, and you should have few problems. The libraries
are available in the /pub/linux/GCC directory on tsx-11.mit.edu.
I use g++-2.3.3 with libc.so.4.3.2 pretty extensively, and have had no
problems with it at all.

I love it. I can swap code between the University's sun-4 system and
my Linux box at home, and the only difference I notice is that the
Linux box goes faster. :-)
Persevere - I can assure you that it can work, and that it's worth it!
