Dear gentlemen,

I am struggeling with a problem since 3 days with no results, the problem was similarly faced by other members but my case looks different.

After I finished installing Oracle 10g express, I proceeded by installing BAAN Vc application on debian.

When I reach a certain part of the installation I get the following error and the installation aborts.

/usr2/cdrom/ln.0000/bse/install/bin/compress6.2: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr2/cdrom/ln.0000/bse/install/bin/bshell6.2: error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed and upgraded the library
apt-get install libstdc++5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libstdc++5 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Searched for the file libstdc++.so.5

find / -name libstdc++.so.5 –print
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 13 14:50 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7

Rerun the installation and ended up with the same problem

find / -name libpam.so.0 –print
/lib/libpam.so.0
/usr/lib/libpam.so.0

Not sure if this is the right command
apt-get install libpam0g

Please help

I am just hoping that you have selected the right package meaning 32bit or 64bit installer depending upon your kernel. Also, can you check ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7

Hello,

ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 829320 Jun 20 2010 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7

It is a 64 bit debian
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (n/a)
Release: 6.0.5
Codename: n/a
# uname -mrs
Linux 2.6.32-042stab053.5 x86_64

Is there any different command i need to use to install the 64bit versin of library other than the above shown used one?

Regarding the software I'm installan BAAN, it is a 64bit version.

you can try the command file, I think those files are created for another type of linux (either 32bit or ?)

file /usr2/cdrom/ln.0000/bse/install/bin/compress6.2
/usr2/cdrom/ln.0000/bse/install/bin/compress6.2: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped

you are right, it looks like this is a 32bit executable file, is there a way I can run them from my 64bit environment?

yum is a good method to do so. Do check out this thread if useful

It works, I typed apt-get install ia32-libs and I got libraries installed.

Thank you
