you are right - the fftw dependency can easily be resolved with the 
original mandrake 10.0 rpm libfftw2-2.1.5, but for libstdc++.so.6, what 
package or procedure resolved the libstdc++.so.6 dependency? Or did you
compile sources?

Was it possible to simply install the libstdc++6-3.4.0-0.4mdk.i586.rpm 
from mandrake > 10.0. Maybe you could describe what you did with the 
necessary commands. That might help other people using Mandrake 10.0.

thanks a lot!
