Hi There,
I have a couple of machines running arch now and I'm very happy with the distribution. Most everything has just worked and the ease of the bsd style init scrips and other things has made this a much more pleasant experience than the red hat 7.1 I was running before.
I'm currently trying to get an ieee1394 interface to connect to a digital video camcorder. I am having some trouble with the dvgrab package from the unofficial repository.
When involked it complains of:
dvgrab: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2.2' not found (required by dvgrab)
An nm -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 | grep GLIBCPP yields: GLIBCPP_3.2.1
I believe this library is in some core package, I haven't been able to find it in the repository.
Since it was so convenient getting gscanbus and dvgrab with pacman I'm trying to avoid hosing it up by starting to build things from source.
Can anyone offer any words of advice?
Thanks!

no suggestions but this is what i get when i issue your search command (note there is a pile of other stuff listed but i think these are the ones you would be interested in) :
sarah@ArchLinux:~> nm -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 | grep GLIBCPP
00000000 A GLIBCPP_3.2
00000000 A GLIBCPP_3.2.1
00000000 A GLIBCPP_3.2.2
the only thing that comes to mind is i wonder if you have gcc 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 installed.

Thanks Sarah,
I thought I had run pacman -Su, but then I found it had failed with conflicts.
pacman -Suf completed and now I have:
nm -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 | grep "000 A GLIB"
00000000 A GLIBCPP_3.2
00000000 A GLIBCPP_3.2.1
00000000 A GLIBCPP_3.2.2
So I'm trying again to move forward with dvgrab, but now something else is wrong.
The man pages are screwed up. All the ESC characters show:
ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m
dvgrab -- Grab DV video and audio data via IEEE1394 links
ESC[1mSYNOPSISESC[0m
It seems I've screwed something up with the forced upgrade, and of course not having readable man pages makes it a little harder to track things down.
Thanks for any help...

the messed up manpages come compliments of some other package, which i don't remember. There may be info somewhere on the this forum there may be an answer but i believe the email list archives actually have the answer. It is a minor bug due to the fact that the troublesome package is newer than most distros use. Once i find what the fix is again i will post it in the faqs.

The messed up manpages is because of the newest groff package.
If you've sysupgraded lately, then a simple logout-then-login should fix it. Or just export LESS=-R and you should have manpages again.

That did it!
Thanks Aperio and Sarah!
Arch rocks
Speaking of which, I have a couple of CD labels that are based on pictures from arches national park in the us. I did these for the 0.4 iso cd's that I burnt.
If you think anyone might like to see or use them I'd be happy to submit them.
Its only eye candy, but I do appreciate the reply's and I hope to contribute more as I'm able.
Thanks Again...
