`GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found but it is there

I got the error

/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found

I have installed the following rpm file: https://centos.pkgs.org/6/nux-dextop-i386/chrome-deps-stable-3.11-1.i386.rpm because there are GLIBCXX_3.4.14 and GLIBCXX_3.4.15 versions for centOS6.

I have linked this folder to libstdc++.so

[cloudera@quickstart DataGenLinux]$ ln -s /opt/google/chrome/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6
[cloudera@quickstart DataGenLinux]$ ./myFile.out -h 
./DataGen.out: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not
found (required by ./DataGen.out)
./DataGen.out: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not**
found (required by ./DataGen.out)

I have defined and exported LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

[cloudera@quickstart DataGenLinux]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/google/chrome/lib/libstdc++.so.6

SOLVED

 mv /usr/lib64/libsrdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libsrdc++.so.6_bkp
 mv /opt/google/chrome/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libsrdc++.so.6

This solved my issue

Solution

  • LD_LIBRARY_PATH should point to a path, not a library.

    This should work for you:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/google/chrome/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./myFile.out -h

    Alternatively,

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/google/chrome/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./myFile.out -h

    Note this does not involve any symlinking nor replacing system libraries.

    Since libstdc++ (and glibc as well) are forward compatible, it is best to compile/link against the oldest version you want to support (if of course you are in control of myFile.out).

    It is definitely better to look for a proper CentOS6 package of that version of libstdc++ you need. But even then you'll need to point your loader to it, as it will not replace the system /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6, rather live alongside it. You don't provide much context so I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to accomplish with what exactly.
