I think so.

It's in the cxxlibs.tgz package. However, the package
from Slackware 7.1 is libc6.1. One way around this
(if you have installed the cxxlibs package from Slack71)
is to create a libc6.2 symbolic link that points to
the libc6.1 file. I have done this for a couple of
applications without problem. Another way around
the dependency is to install the cxxlibs.tgz package
(libc6.2) from Slackware 8.1 (using pkgtool). I have
also done that without problem.

Unfortunately a number of current X applications are
dependent on the libc6.2 version. Installing cxxlibs.tgz
from Slack81 (in the /slackware/a directory) instead of
from Slack71 (in the /slakware/a3 directory) is probably
a sensible thing to do.

Cheers,
Steven
