Topic: libstdc++.so.5 Error

[ChrisBuechler]

Can someone look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong when trying to make Firebird SQL with 6.0 Beta 3

Thanks,

.. gleaned from a Google search:

Error:  libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Problem:  An application is running on Linux 7.x which uses gcc 3.2.x. It gets one of the following error messages:

libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Explanation:  libstdc++.so.5 (the library for gcc 3.2.x) is installed in /usr/local/lib However, the system will only search /usr/lib (where the 2.95.0 and other older libraries are stored).


Solution:  create symbolic links to make the libraries appear in the old folder:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
