Need libstdc++.so.2.8 [SOLVED]

I don't seem to find libstdc++.so.2.8 anywhere on my up-to-date Arch installation. Is there a package I must be missing?

Re: Need libstdc++.so.2.8 [SOLVED]

I don't think you're gonna have much luck getting that thing to work.  I don't believe the "libstdc++.so.2.8" (separate from older gcc-2.x) lib will be compatible with glibc > 2.1.

That's a good project tho, I'll see if I can beat "dp" to the solution.  I'd kind of like to try out that crossword puzzle game.  Time to try out my rusty old gcc-2.95.3 compiler PKGBUILD...muahahaah...

I ended up getting a the copy of libstdc++.so.2.8 that my Gentoo installation created, and placed it in my Arch /usr/lib directory. Now I can use acrosslite.

Interesting page you cite above. However, I need to be able to read and print puzzles created in the AcrossLite format, as posted by the L.A. Times. I don't care about creating such puzzles.
