I have cxxlibs-5.1.0-i486-1 listed in /var/log/packages. That probably
explains it. I searched on slackware.com for cxx and could only find
6.2.1, so close but so far away.

I'm using Flash Player with Mozilla 1.4, Galeon and ... (sorry I don't
remember the name) and it works fine without nothing but the standard
libs provided by Slackware.

If you look INTO that package, you will see that it installs, among
others:
usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so
usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
The latter sounds a lot like you were looking for....

I don't know either why two different libstdc++-3 libraries were
installed (and which one is the default).

PS: even the older version of cxxlibs in SW 9.0 already had those
two so's available.
