[tlug] Is libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so backward compatable with libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

[Antony Stace <s45652001@example.com>]

Hi

I just installed Redhat 7.2 and then Suns JDK1.4 only to get an error about a missing shared library

[antony@example.com antony]$ javac
Error: failed /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So then I did....

[root@example.com /]#cd /usr/lib 
[root@example.com lib]# ls -l libstdc++-*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       478454 Sep  5 03:09 libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.a
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root       419374 Sep  5 03:09 libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           30 Feb 26 23:25 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.a.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           31 Feb 26 23:18 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
[root@example.com lib]# 

[root@example.com lib]# ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

Problem solved(javac now works), or is it really?  Should I really install a package which contains the libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 or is
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so backward compatiable with libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2?
