Can't install RealPlayer

peeples · 03-25-2005, 05:48 PM

I've finished LFS 6.0, and all that I wanted from BLFS 6.0. However, when I try to install RealPlayer (for web content) I get the following error:

Code:

./realplay.bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by ./realplay.bin)
./realplay.bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by ./realplay.bin)

I noticed that the library it is looking for is .so.5 , so I made a link from .so.5 and pointed it to .so.6

But I still get this error. Did something go wrong in my GCC compile? I don't remember the tests failing, but, I have been known to be wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this? TIA

im guessing you installed gcc-3.4.*, as lfs 6.0 specifies.
there is a possibility that the realplayer doesn't like your version of gcc.

what realplayer version are you trying to run?
also, do you have the following in your envirnomet: HELIX_LIBS=/wherever/your/realplayer/is/installed
try

Code:

echo $HELIX_LIBS

I use gcc-3.3.5 to avoid these problems as too many programmers still haven't learned that they should conform to standards.
But thats just me..Some other LUG members laugh at my ancient gcc

No, I don't have the HELIX_LIBS evironment variable set. I can't even get the program to install so I don't have anywhere to point the environment variable. I've tried compiling helix player from source, AND trying to install RealPlayer10Gold.bin. Neither one will complete.

I wouldn't have a problem with installing another compiler version, but, how do you know which patches, etc? And, since the error mentioned GlibCPP-3.2, wouldn't 3.2 be a better version, or am I "barking up the wrong tree"?

I am currently using gcc-3.4.1 (as per LFS 6.0).

oops, side effect of waaaaay to much source compiling - my mistake, gcc should not be the issue here.

Realplayer releases binaries.

So that means that this is probably the wrong binary for your system.

I'll start looking into their site for the proper binaries as well.

http://player.helixcommunuty.org/2004/downloads/ is a good place to start.

I noticed they don't give many options from their base linux download link so that one above might help

I just checked, realplayer wants to use glibc-2.3.3. LFS6.0 uses glibc-2.3.4 as that is better than 2.3.3.

libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2'

After some effort, I discovered that despite the GLIBC in that line above, the libstdc++ is the real issue.

I solved the Realplayer Binary problem by installing gcc-3.3.5 instead of gcc-3.4.3. (In fact doing so solved most of my problems..)

I already soloved the same question...

my idea:
please download the files (If you are using FC4)
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...7.fc4.i386.rpm
then run realplay...the REALPALY is running!

I'm using FC5, and i've been getting the same issue, both libraries missing.
I'm a complete idiot and I will probably get confused by most instructions unless they're spelled out and going step by step for me. Please if anyone could help me with this i'd be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced
