error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6 RH9.0
 

hi all.
i have RH9 installed on my system. yesterday, when i was trying to install mysql administrator on this machine, it gave me am error :

./mysql-administrator-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when i searched for libstdc++ on my system, i found
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 .

How can i upgrade this to ~.so.6??
And what would be the effect, if i upgrade this.
thnks in advance.

RedHat 9 is really old and was discontinued many years ago; they might not have that library. Try a newer distro, like Fedora Core or something else.

But sir,
i am doing my work on redhat 9.0, and i have to stcik with it. So is there any solution for this problem.
thnks

Like spoon has already stated Reh Hat Linux 9 is old and no longer supported by Red Hat, supported ended the end of April 2004. Upgrading the libstc++ libs are possible, but it takes alot of work. You need to also upgrade the glibc libs. For this you are basically on your own, download the source rpms for glibc and all the other needed libs and build your own.

You may have luck using the rpms from Fedora Core 1;

I will tell you now be very, very sure of what your doing, updating glibc is one sure way to mess-up your system. You might want to try installing a different (earlier) verion of the mysql administrator instead.
