FAQ: libstdc++.so.5/6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Anders Blom]

The libstdc++.so.5/6 is installed on most systems, but not all. To install a missing libstdc++ library, visit http://rpm.pbone.net/ and search for libstdc++ for your relevant distribution. Download and rpm --install it (as root). Link the installed library from the VNL lib directory, like so:

Code

ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

Modify as needed for the location of the installed library, as found by (as root, in /)

Code

find -iname libstdc++*
