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:

  1. libstdc++.so.5:
    1. Google for libstdc++.so.5, you will find it. Well actually you find an rpm containing libstdc++.so.5.0.5
    2. Copy libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib
    3. Symlink /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
  2. Portage Overlay:
    1. Copy x11-drivers/ati-drivers to you overlay
    2. Open the ebuild of choise ( ati-drivers-[version].ebuild )
    3. Remove the dependancy on virutial/libstdc++
    4. run: ebuild ati-drivers-[version].ebuild digest
    5. 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.
