Cannot Find libatomic.so.1

I'm trying to build snappy, but I end up getting the error

 error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I go look in /lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/ I do find a file libatomic.so

Which has the contents

INPUT ( /usr/lib64/libatomic.so.1.2.0 )

then if I go looking in /usr/lb64/ only these files exist

libatomic_ops_gpl.so.1
libatomic_ops_gpl.so.1.1.2
libatomic_ops.so.1
libatomic_ops.so.1.1.1

I try doing yum install libatomic_ops.x86_64, it says nothing to do. That is the only package that comes up when doing yum search libatomic.

I'm confused with how to solve this issue. Thanks!

For what it matters, this is a redhat 8.6 machine.

Solution

  • This was solved by running dnf install gcc, this updated gcc and allowed for yum install libatomic to work
