unable to boot: unable to load libgcc_s.so.1

* unrealircd.conf:32: loadmodule src/modules/commands.so: failed to load: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

I've compiled this 7 different ways and still get this error.

I'm using gcc 3.2.3... built with 2.96-85 on RH 7.0 server running a 2.2.25 kernel
no ssl
no ziplink
no remote
and no boot

any clues?

built with 2.96-85

I'm a Windows user, so correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't that version very buggy?

supposidly... which is why I built 3.2.3 and installed it over... I needed some way to build gcc 3.2.3 since there's no RPM for RH 7.0.. something about product life cycles and stuff... I do know that the version of 2.96 that I have was redhat's last release for 7.0 and had "less" bugs in it... but I still have no idea why the IRCd is looking for that one file and why it can't load it because it is available to all for reading and located in its regular spot at /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

I just don't get it... there must be something else messed... but I wanted to know if it was the IRCd first... if this file is really needed for it to work... and the version it is now is 3.2.3 and even if I copy the file into the IRCd directory, it still can't load it... so I'm at a loss

I dunnow what that lib does (it doesn't use it on my debian system at least), but...

Is /usr/local/lib listed in your /etc/ld.so.conf? If not, add it on a new line.
Then, (or even if it is listed), run 'ldconfig' as root.
Perhaps that helps :).

If that still didn't work, then try recompiling unreal.. be sure to re-run both './Config' and 'make'.

could be cause I've installed gcc 3.2.3 on top of 2.96 and might have broken something... I'm planning to upgrade the OS and then give it another try. until then... I'll use the unreal3.1.2 I already have running and hope that the new OS will install with enough ease that my server won't be down for more than a day.
