C++ Problem Overview

How can I get GLIBCXX_3.4.15 in Ubuntu? I can't run some programs that I'm compiling.

When I do:

strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC

I get:

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5

GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12

Thanks for any help!

Solution 1 - C++

I'm compiling gcc 4.6 from source, and apparently

sudo make install

didn't catch this one. I dug around and found

gcc/trunk/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6.0.15

I copied it in to /usr/lib and redirected libstdc++.so.6 to point to the new one, and now everything works.

Solution 2 - C++

I have been avoiding this issue in the past by simply linking libstdc++ statically with this parameter sent to g++ when linking my executable:

-static-libstdc++

If linking in the library statically is an option this is probably the quickest work-around.

Solution 3 - C++

I was trying to get clang to work (which also requires 6.0.15), and while poking around I found it was installed at /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.15. It installed there when I installed graphite (an experimental gcc version).

If you need access to libraries at that location, then you’ll need to define LD_LIBRARY_PATH as:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/lib64

I was able to get clang to work after doing this. Hope that is helpful to someone.

Solution 4 - C++

I encounter this problem when trying to use matlab eng to call m functions from c code. which occurs with command mex -f .. ..

My solution:

strings /usr/lib/i386-<tab>/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC

I found it includes 3.4.15

so my system has the newest libs.

the problem comes from matlab itself, it calls its own libstdc++.so.6 from {MATLAB}/bin

so, just replace it with the updated system lib.

Solution 5 - C++

I have just faced with similar issue building LLVM 3.7 version. first check whether you have installed the required library on your system:

$locate libstdc++.so.6.*

Then add the found location to your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Solution 6 - C++

Sometimes you don't control the target machine (e.g. your library needs to run on a locked-down enterprise system). In such a case you will need to recompile your code using the version of GCC that corresponds to their GLIBCXX version. In that case, you can do the following:

  1. Look up the latest version of GLIBCXX supported by the target machine: strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC ... Say the version is 3.4.19.
  2. Use https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html to find the corresponding GCC version. In our case, this is [4.8.3, 4.9.0).

Solution 7 - C++

I got same error. This is how it worked for me:

  • cleaned the project under currently installed gcc
  • recompiled it

Worked perfectly!

Solution 8 - C++

For this error, I copied the latest libstdc++.so.6.0.17 from other server, and removed the soft link and recreated it.

  1. Copy the the libstdc++.so.6.0.15 or latest from other server to the affected system.
    In my case SUSE linux 11 SP3 had latest.
  2. rm libstdc++.so.6
  3. ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.17 libstdc++.so.6 (under /usr/lib64 directory).

Bug with GLIBCXX_3.4.14 You need to install a newer version of GCC. http://pkgs.org/download/libstdc++.so.6 goto:

http://geeksterminal.com/how-to-install-glib-glibc/1392/

and follow instructions.

Solution 10 - C++

I had the same problem because I changed the user from myself to someone else:

su

For some reason, after did the normal compiling I was not able to execute it (the same error message). Directly ssh to the other user account works.

Solution 11 - C++

I had multiple versions of the gcc compiler installed and needed to use a more recent version than the default installation. Since I am not a system administrator for our Linux systems, I cannot just change /usr/lib or many of the other suggestions above. I was encountering this problem and eventually tracked it down to setting my path to the 32-bit library directory instead of the 64-bit library (lib64) directory. Since the libraries in the 32-bit directory were incompatible, the system defaulted to the older version which was out of date.

Using -L to the path I was referencing gave warnings about "skipping incompatible libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++". This was the hint that helped me finally resolve the problem.

Solution 12 - C++

gcc version 4.8.1, the error seems like:

> /root/bllvm/build/Release+Asserts/bin/llvm-tblgen: > /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found > (required by /root/bllvm/build/Release+Asserts/bin/llvm-tblgen)

I found the libstdc++.so.6.0.18 at the place where I complied gcc 4.8.1

Then I do like this

cp ~/objdir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6.0.18 /usr/lib64/

rm /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.18 libstdc++.so.6

problem solved.

Solution 13 - C++

I've extracted them from an RPM (RPM for libstdc++) and then:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.

To set the system to search for the libraries on the current directory. Then just executed my program. But in my case I've received a single executable that I needed, it wasn't a system wide change.

Solution 14 - C++

In my case LD_LIBRARY_PATH had /usr/lib64 first before /usr/local/lib64. (I was builing llvm 3.9).
The new gcc compiler that I installed to compile llvm 3.9 had libraries using newer GLIBCXX libraries under /usr/local/lib64 So I fixed LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the linker to see /usr/local/lib64 first.
That solved this problem.

Solution 15 - C++

I just used -static-libstdc++ while building. w/ that, I can run the a.out

g++ test.cpp -static-libstdc++

Solution 16 - C++

I've had a similar issue, and I've resolved it by statically linking libstdc++ into the program I was compiling, like so:

$ LIBS=-lstdc++ ./configure ... etc.

instead of the usual

$ ./configure ... etc.

There might be problems with this solution to do with loading shared libraries at runtime, but I haven't looked into the issue deeply enough to comment.

Solution 17 - C++

Same thing with gcc version 4.8.1 (GCC) and libstdc++.so.6.0.18. Had to copy it here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu on my ubuntu box.

Solution 18 - C++

I had the same problem before, and fixed that, the steps could be found on this Fixing error "GLIBCXX_3.4.15" on matlab

Solution 19 - C++

For testing purposes:

On the original machine, find the library, copy to the same directory as the executable:

$ ldconfig -p | grep libstdc
        libstdc++.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
$ cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 .

Then copy this same library to the target machine, and run the executable:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./myexecutable

Note: command above is temporary; it is not a system-wide change.
