/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found
 

Hi Guys,

I'm running RHEL6 and Centos 6 and I get the following error

/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

on one of the programs I need to run on the system. I'm currently at gcc version 4.7.0. When i do the following command "strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX"

I get: so it looks like 3.4.15 is there. Any ideas on how I can correct this issue?

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14

Hi,

GLIBCXX_3.4.15 file is in package gcc.
Try to extract the same file from the gcc package and again paste it in its particular location. It should work then.

Do you mean reinstall the gcc rpm?

No, not to re-install the gcc package.
Just extract the gcc package and there would be a file "GLIBCXX_3.4.15" there. Paste that file at that location where all other such files are there.

The "libstdc++-so.6" from gcc-4.7.0 should do OK.

? May be the libstdc++-so.6 in /usr/lib/ is the EL6 default ?
I.e the libstdc++.so.6 from gcc version 4.4.6 ?

A reinstall of gcc (-4.4.6) will not work.
Neither will a reinstall of libstdc++.
The object GLIBCXX_3.4.15 is from a gcc version 4.6 or later, I think.
Which program ? ? And : Is the program in question the right architecture ?
( i686 or x86_64 )

.

That is a lot of help! How do I install gcc-4.7.0? is it an rpm package or a tarball? The program is firefox.

Your post # 1 says : ""I'm currently at gcc version 4.7.0.""
So I assumed, you had gcc-4.7.0 installed.

Firefox : Is it version 14 ?


Replacing libstdc++-so.6 with a later version that works in EL6:
Unpack libstdc++6_4.7.1-2_i386.deb
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool...7.1-2_i386.deb
with : ar -x libstdc++6_4.7.1-2_i386.deb && tar xvf data.tar.gz
Next : 1) su ; 2) cp libstdc++.so.6.0.17 /usr/lib/
3) cd /usr/lib/ && rm libstdc++.so.6
4) ln -s libstdc++.so.6.17 libstdc++.so.6

Reason for suggesting the Debian package :
It's a ( gcc ) libstdc++ version that's compiled with a glibc
old enugh to be used in EL6 / CentOS 6.

.

Thank you so much! This has been great help. Yes it is FF 14. My system is at gcc 4.7 but I think I have a stock RHEL6 library lingering. The deb package will give me the correct libstdc++ you think?

Thanks again!

The 32bits CentOS 6.3 :

Firefox 14.0.1 works OK here with libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.17
from the package libstdc++6_4.7.1-2_i386.deb.


(You can of course also use the libstdc++.so.6.17 from your gcc-4.7 install.)
