Hi,
I am trying to install Sun JDK on Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit hardware). I get the following error:

Code:

# ./java_ee_sdk-5_08-jdk-6u17-linux.bin 
./java_ee_sdk-5_08-jdk-6u17-linux.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried some ways to install the library but in vain:

Code:

# yum install compat-libstdc++
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package compat-libstdc++ available.
Nothing to do
# yum install compat-libstdc++.so.5
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package compat-libstdc++.so.5 available.
Nothing to do

Kindly help.

Did you try just

Code:

yum install libstdc++.i386

You could check if it's already there and this is not some other problem:

Code:

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

I can see this:

Code:

/usr/lib# ls | grep libstdc++
libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6.0.10

So I presume libstdc++.so.6 is present (a higher version)

any idea how to solve the problem?

Looks like I am a newbie too, I never knew there was a yum package for ubuntu, then again I have a very little knowledge about debian and ubuntu. The default package manager for ubuntu is apt-get. So first do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search libstdc++

See if you see the package. If you do then install using:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++

The package name is libstdc++5

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
