libstdc++.so.5 not found?

[blimpie151]

Ok, first, I have searched the forums, I have done the things listed in the posts. I'm still stumped.

I am running gentoo amd64 2005.0, with gcc 3.4.3. I have NOT upgraded my gcc, so its not just an 'upgrading' problem like many others have. I did a stage 3 install. I am trying to install PowerPanel-Plus-1.0.3 for our CyberPower UPS systems, when I intall, i get './upssrv: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Ok, here are a few of the things i've tried:
gcc-config 1
fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.3

I have tried putting symbolic links named 'libstdc++.so.5'in the /lib64, /lib32, /usr/lib32, /usr/lib64, /usr/local/lib64, /usr/local/lib32, and various other places linking to /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/32/libstdc++.so.6, and /usr/lib64/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5.0.6, none of which have worked. I have reinstalled many times, no such luck.

Anyone got more links for me to try?
So, far, i have done the things listed in these posts:

None of which have worked for me.....

Thanks in advance,

did you try revdep-rebuild?

libstdc++.so.5 is a gcc 3.3 library. The C++ ABI of gcc 3.3 and 3.4 are not compatible.

Ok, so what can I do, do I need to install a legacy gcc just to run this application, or is there some other solution


Thanks again in advance,

I think this is what you are looking for.

[blimpie151]

Well, I did an 'emerge lib-compat' and it did install a few things, but i still cannot find the libstdc++.so.5 file.... Is there something else I need to do after emerging this?

Well it should provide the said file I suppose. I did for me when I installed a binary-only game that wouldn't run on my libc (symlinking would lead to a segfault). This somehow fixed my problem. Maybe someone more experimented could help you ?

You need to emerge libstdc++-v3 package.

[blimpie151]

Ok, I actually already had a 'libstdc++-v3' folder located in /usr/lib
But, I did as you said, and emerged it anyway, just for kicks. It went out and grabbed gcc v3.3.4 and installed it, and created a symbolic link from /usr/lib64/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5.0.6 to /lib/libstdc++.so.5
Still nothing. HOWEVER, I did create a symbolic link from /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/32/libstdc++.so.6.0.3 to /lib/libstdc++.so.5 and heres what i get now when i try to install and run the PowerPanel program:
"./upssrv: /lib/libstdc++.so.5: version 'CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by ./upssrv)"
"./upssrv: /lib/libstdc++.so.5: version 'GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by ./upssrv)"

There is no documentation on this program saying what version of gcc it requires, but I'm now assuming from this error that i need gcc v3.2 instead of gcc v3.4.3?

How would i go about installing a legacy gcc, on a 64bit system, and still be able to use the 64bit gcc?

[blimpie151]

No one else has any input on what this could be?

[elfo]

I'm having same problems....


what i did:

1. to have a python that RUNS, and so emerge:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib
ln -sf libstdc++.so.2.9.0 libstdc++.so.5

2. install the lib:

Code: Select all

emerge libstdc++-v3

3. kick out the symlink!

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib
rm libstdc++.so.5

(because this lib is found in the libstdc++-v3 directory!)

4. Now i'm having problems cause i kicked out the old gcc-3.3.4 (and there is no more ebuild for it).. i'm trying with the lib-compat trick.

[delhomme]

I am running exactly the same setup (amd64 and gcc 3.4.3).

One of the program I want to run needs libstdc++.so.5.

Therefore I emerged

1. lib-compat
2. libstdc++-v3

But the program still does not work . If I use "ldd" on the "troubleshooting" library I got:

Code: Select all

>ldd bin/server_i486.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0x5614b000)        
        libstdc++.so.5 => not found
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0x56193000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x561b6000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0x561c0000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)

Obviously my problem is the libstdc++.so.5 => not found.
As said previously in the post, I can create as many symlink to the libstdc++.so.5 file from any of the dirs listed in the /etc/ld.so.conf, it remains not found.
And anyway libstdc++.so.5 is properly installed in the /usr/lib64/libstdc++-v3/ dir which is present in the /etc/ld.so.conf file...

Then, if I create a symlink from /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/32/libstdc++.so to /lib/libstdc++.so.5 then my "ldd" check returns :

Code: Select all

ldd bin/server_i486.so
bin/server_i486.so: /lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by bin/server_i486.so)
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0x5614b000)
        tier0_i486.so => /lib/tier0_i486.so (0x5614f000)
        vstdlib_i486.so => /lib/vstdlib_i486.so (0x5617f000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x56193000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0x56261000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x56284000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0x5628e000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)

Where i got libstdc++.so.5 => /lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x56193000) but version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found...

That was obvious that something like this would happend ... no surprise, but

1. Does that mean that somehow gcc3.4.3 is "discarding" libstdc++.so.5 because it has libstdc++.so.6 ??
2. Does anybody has an idea on how to resolve this conflict (downgrading to gcc 3.2 is not a solution )?

[delhomme]

Yipee! Fixed it

PROBLEM
The problem was that my server is an amd64.
Therefore, I could not get either the libstdc++-v3 or the lib-compat package working properly. They were produced for "older" architecture.... i.e. : x*86

SOLUTION
Install the emul-linux-x86-compat package which emulate such an older architecture and create the proper link

Code: Select all

emerge emul-linux-x86-compat
ln -s  /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /lib/libstdc++.so.5

And now my stuff is working!!

[merced]

After reading all of the posts that this post alluded to, I was still unable to solve my issue with libstdc++.so.5 not being found.

I am trying to use a vendor provided software package that the company supports on RedHat only.

But that got me thinking...so I asked the company what version of RedHat they had compiled their binaries on. They said it was based on Fedora Core 3.

I then went and got the rpm from RedHat:

Code: Select all

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2.x86_64.rpm

A quick rpm2targz of the file, and then tar -tzf to see where it wanted to be put. It wants /usr/lib64.

I then proceeded to untar it to /usr/lib64, and now my program works!

I'm not sure of the exact differences of the two files, the one from RedHat in /usr/lib64 and the one residing in /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib except that it makes everything work as it should.

I hope this helps someone else experiencing this issue.

I saw this as the only post refering to PowerPanel Plus.

Is anyone aware of an ebuild in progress? I was thinking of trying it for my first shot.. looked like a simple script to stuff into the skel.ebuild...
