Strange problems with gcc473.dll after "yum update"

[haraldkamm]

After having done a "yum update" (I'm doing this on a regular base)

Feb 25 08:29:25 Updated: libgcc473-4.7.3.1-1.oc00.i386
Feb 25 08:29:26 Installed: libsupc++6-4.7.3.1-1.oc00.i386
Feb 25 08:29:26 Updated: libssp-4.7.3.1-1.oc00.i386
Feb 25 08:29:26 Installed: libstdc++6-4.7.3.1-1.oc00.i386
Feb 25 08:29:56 Updated: gcc-4.7.3.1-1.oc00.i386

I get a strange gcc473.dll crash of Firefox Beta 2. If I try to start PDFView the system hangs and I need to do a hardware-reset! What the hell was done to Stdc++?

Any hint would be very appreciated.

Thanks again, Harald

You have a outdated DLL using the broken gcc473 library released into the experimental branch.
But without knowing the name of the dll compiled with broken compiler release, it is hard to find the error.
You need to exclude them one at time.

[Silvan Scherrer]

please give also a list of all installed packages after the upgrade. Eventually we see which could be the wrong one,

[David McKenna]

On my system, according to 'PMDLL', QPDFView.exe calls QTGUI4.DLL, which calls STDCPP.DLL, which calls GCC473.DLL. This is the only place GCC473.DLL is called by QPDFView.

Was there a version of STDCPP.DLL made with the broken GCC?

[Yuri Dario]

yes, older gcc 4.7.3 releases were building stdcpp.dll. Now this dll is called stdcpp6.dll because of ABI changes.
You need to backlevel stdcpp.dll to gcc 4.4.6 level.

[David McKenna]

OK, from the command line I typed: 'YUM REMOVE LIBSTDC++'. That removed the 4.7.3 version I had. Then I typed 'YUM INSTALL LIBSTDC++'. That installed the 4.4.6 version. Thanks for the hint. Hope this helps Harald...
