Why not? The error message is pretty plain english:

Your  link  step  included   the   /opt/PPC_X/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so
library,    which    in    turn    tried    to   link   against   the
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 library, which was not found by the linker.

This is not a big surprise, as the current version of the ELDK  ships
with libstdc++-libc6.1-2.a.3

I don't know where  you  got  the  /opt/PPC_X/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so
library  from. I guess you copied if from a standard PowerPC release.
This is very risky in itself, as it may have been built in a way wich
is incompatible to the ELDK libraries (or  are  you  absolutely  sure
that  they  use  the  same  settings  for  FPU support and cache line
sizes?).

You should probably rebuild libGLU using the ELDK tools, and link  it
against the ELDK provided C/C++ libs.

You must be joking. Of course you have to mind this.  It's  the  root
cause  of your problems. And other problems are lurking to hit you as
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is most probably incompatible to  the  ELDK,
too.


Best regards,
