libstdc++.so.5 problems

lashnjo · 08-10-2005, 07:46 PM

yo, been having this problem for awhile

./firefox-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

how can I install libstdc?

thanks

Code:

#urpmi libstdc++5

I have experianced the same issue on Fedora, what you should do is download the correct libraries from

http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/index.html

With Fedora I just used my packaging system (APT) and downloaded them. I hope that helps you.

i too am using fedora
what is the packaging ATP you speak of
because i have the same issues

thanks

It's now part of GCC as of version 3.0.

Here you go, libstdc++.so.5 rpm
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

On Fedora, the right way to solve this problem is doing,

Code:

#yum install compat-libstdc++-33

I tried doing this and got silence. Does this mean it's already installed? I'm trying to install kdirstat and get the following:

rpm -i kdir*
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by kdirstat-2.4.0-0.i586
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by kdirstat-2.4.0-0.i586
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by kdirstat-2.4.0-0.i586

I tried installing the libraries and all seemed to go well until - suddenly - a problem.

This is what I got.

Try going to easyurpmi and configure the main, contrib, plf and update repositories for your version of Mandriva. Once thats done, do as root

Code:

#urpmi.update -a
#urpmi --auto-select
#urpmi libstdc++5

FYI, looking at this issue from a "non-packaged" perspective, modules are expected to be found in /lib, /usr/lib, or any directory listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.

If you noodle around those directories, you'll notice that this directory contains a lot of variously-named files and "symbolic links" (indicated by "->") such as:

Code:

/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b
/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a
/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a
/lib/libssl.so.2 -> libssl.so.0.9.6b
/lib/libssl.so.4 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a
/lib/libss.so.2 -> libss.so.2.0
/lib/libss.so.2.0

When a program wants to open a library, it can be generic (requesting "libssl.so.2") or it can be specific (I want "libssl.so.0.9.7a"). There will always be a symbolic-link for the major-version, such as "so.2."

There's just one more twist: the loader doesn't do a directory-search every time. It relies upon a library cache which is maintained by a program /sbin/ldconfig, which can only be run by root and which is normally run as part of package installation.

If a library that you expect to find "doesn't seem to be working," sometimes a re-run of ldconfig can fix it.

I think the problem is caused by incomplete library installation since I did not install full package during Linux installation.

I tried for hours and hours to get Real Player 10 Gold to install on Mandrake 2005 LE, and all I had to do was download the urpmi and then another few hours before I found this code posted. Thank you. Learning linux while I wait out this Hurricane Rita.
