[SOLVED]error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6

[queen]

Hi Everyone

I tried to install a driver for brother dcp-115c (brscan2). It has debian and rpm drivers. I used the deb version. However, this destroyed my libstdc++.so.6 and emerge as well.

If i try to use eix <some package> It throws:

Code: Select all

eix: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Code: Select all

bash: emerge: command not found

However libstdc++ exists:

Code: Select all

locate libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/libstdc++.so.6.0.21
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/32/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/32/libstdc++.so.6.0.21
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/libstdc++.so.6.0.21-gdb.py
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/32/libstdc++.so.6.0.21-gdb.py

How can I solve the issue of libstdc++ and emerge?

I managed to solve the problem. For anyone who encounters this problem it was a symlink that missed (the driver messes with it).

Code: Select all

ln -s lib64 lib

This is why you should never run custom installers directly as root. Wrap them in an ebuild so Portage can confine and track their writes.
