         I tried getting in another way -- from
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ to Fedora Core 1 Updates to the list
by name to L. And there's no libst<anything> there at all! It goes
from libpng to libxml.

         So I went back to http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ and tried
telling the search function libstdc++

         Under the development (!) stuff is some for s390x (not
i386!); didn't trust that; went back to the search result, and found
libstdc++.so.6 listed in blue under "Provides."

         That took me to a list that included
libstdc++-4.0.0-2.i386.rpm ; Opera ia still trying to connect to
rpmfind for that.

         Stay tuned.
