Hello!

I've been trying to install a few rpm-packages and run some programs. In both of these occasions either the rpm-manager or the program in question gives the following error message:

./programfile: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

or as for the rpm-manager (while installing xIrc):

error: failed dependencies:
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by xIrc-2.3.8-1

Now to my knowledge, this would mean that I would have to install the libstdc++ -libraries. Right? "rpm -q libstdc++" gives the following output:

libstdc++-2.96-112 (so I have that already installed)

Well of course to me this would seem that the package is out of date. But whenever I do a search for "libstdc++" OR "libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3" I'm directed to the "libstdc++-2.96-112" package. So it would seem that I AM up-to-date. But the problem still desists.

Have I missed something or perhaps forgotten something. I'm running Red Hat 7.3 and all the attempts to run/install the programs have made as root (su and su -) and a normal user. Thanks for any insight!

If you are absolutely sure that you have a dependency listed in the output, you can always force the install. But if it's in the wrong place, or you actually DON'T have the file, this could cause some neat little problems.

I actually would get the source and compile it myself. You may still run into the same problem, but then you could more easily specify the location of the file in question.

Also, try this:
run LDCONFIG (in lowercase) and then updatedb. That will sometimes help to get the system to see the location of the files. A man rpm will also give you some better info on how to override error messages and force an install.

Cool

Also make sure the path to those "missing" libraries is in
/etc/ld.so.conf if it's not add it and run ldconfig, then try installing again.
Hope that helps

Well I've run into an another problem. I added the path to the conf-file, ran ldconfig and updatedb... to no effect.

I then tried to reinstall the source rpm containing the libraries. I receive the following error almost every time I try to install a source-rpm. There must be something wrong with my system... something I messed up during install.

The first part of the source rebuild goes very smoothly, but near the end ( or so I believe) it throws the following error.

Should you understand ANYTHING of this batch of lines, I'd be very appreciative of any insight. If not... please tell me, so I can start thinking about reinstalling the OS.

And yeah... probably in the end this will again be just a serious case of PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)
