CentOS 4.4, libstdc++ 3.4.6 and NPTL

After my last yum update Apache did not start anymore.

All I got when attemping to start it was:

Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: libstdc++.so.6:

cannot handle TLS data.

As explained in this centos.org post:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/cento … 69496.html">http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-September/069496.html

the reason was the update from libstdc++-3.4.5-2 to libstdc++-3.4.6-3. To restart the server I had to force the removal of the new version and manually reinstall the old one.

According to centos.org there no way out from this problem:

> I don't know much about NPTL/libstdc++. However, what I do know is that

Red Hat made decision to require NPTL very long time ago. If your

system can't run NPTL enabled kernel and glibc (or whatever other

library), it is unsupported and it isn't likely anybody will work on it

to fix it. Even if you were paying Red Hat customer. Things might

work, and than they might mysteriously break one day.

Is this correct? What to do?

Thanks
