How does pdftex building process decide which one to use in case that both are installed?
The process doesn't do anything explicit, the system's gcc install controls this automatically when you install 'libstdc++-static'. If your system is new enough to have libstdc++.so.6, that is what it will use. If the system is so old that it doesn't have libstdc++.so.6, only .5, then the static version of libstdc++ will automatically also have that version). Any packages with an explicit version number, like 'libstdc++5', are meant for backward compatibilty with older precompiled programs. Those will not be used by the compiler, and by the runtime link resolver. Best wishes, Taco
