libstdc++.so.6 problem

I downgraded gcc from 3.4.0-1 to 3.3.3-1 to compile cinelerra.

only after i downgraded, i can't open mozilla-firefox or blender. the message they give is:

blender: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/opt/mozi/opt/mozilla-firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How is it possible to lose libstdc++.so.6?

when I downgraded, I just edited pacman.conf and i pointed the [current] server to the cd-rom, since the base-iso for ARCH installation has gcc-3.3.3 . i did a pacman -Sf gcc and it found the old gcc, and then I accepted and it installed the old gcc.

after that, mozilla-firefox and blender do not work.

libstdc++.so.6 is history - gcc 3.4 uses an alternative

Re: libstdc++.so.6 problem

Picture this:
gcc 3.4 has a libstdc++.so.6, gcc 3.3 has a libstdc++.so.5.  You downgraded to gcc 3.3, but you didn't downgrade firefox or any of the other C++ apps.

Either downgrade them, recompile them, or fix cinellera to work with gcc 3.4.
