Howto: x11-drivers/ati-drivers without gcc3
by rullzer on Oct.05, 2007, under Gentoo, Hardware, Linux
I figured out how to get the ati drivers to work on my new laptop without having to compile gcc-3. It are basicly a few easy steps:
- libstdc++.so.5:
- Google for libstdc++.so.5, you will find it. Well actually you find an rpm containing libstdc++.so.5.0.5
- Copy libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib
- Symlink /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
- Portage Overlay:
- Copy x11-drivers/ati-drivers to you overlay
- Open the ebuild of choise ( ati-drivers-[version].ebuild )
- Remove the dependancy on virutial/libstdc++
- run: ebuild ati-drivers-[version].ebuild digest
- run: emerge =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-[version]
This should go well. at least it did here.
And enjoy your ati video card with ati-drivers without gcc-3. Now you can configure your card further.

Shouldn’t be sys-libs/lib-compat provide that?

Or you could just `emerge –oneshot libstdc++-v3`

sys-libs/lib-compat does provide some libstdc++ files however that are version 2 and 3 files.
Well yeah I could compile libstc++-v3 but that would not change the deb on virtual/libstdc++ wich wants gcc. So in both ways some ”hacking” needs to be done.

Hi,
I’m trying to install ati-drivers on my new Laptop T60 (ThinkPad). But have some problems here.
The ati-drivers now is blocking xorg-server …
So, I’d like to ask what i’m supposed to do? If you have some basic idea on it.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry about this people. I had wrong terminal colors. Just compiling libstc++-v3 makes it work
