VNC error: no libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

[Jakykong]

Hi!
well i'm new-ish ... the absolute beginner's forum i guess is more for questions before you ever get familiar with the system... which didn't take me long :-D but i'm still a beginner so bear with me (thanks).

I'm trying to get VNC up and running. unpacked the binaries and ran vncinstall /usr/bin to copy the files ... however, when i run vncconfig it gives me this error:
vncconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I tried app-get install libstdc++... but that didn't work ... couldn't find the package.
Obviousely a library is missing that vnc requires to run.
So, anyone able to tell me where to get that library and how to install it?
THANKS!

IF those libraries are missing you can probably get them here:

apt-file will tell you what package a particular file is in. See http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-search.en.html#s-apt-file
pmorris@ubuntu:~ $ apt-file search libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
libstdc++2.10-dbg: usr/lib/debug/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2: usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
Try installing libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

apt-file doesen't exist on my system (gonna check Adept next see if i missed something ...)

libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 wasn't found from any of my sources ...

so... what do i do now?

[PMO6022]

It's in universe. Also, you have to install apt-file yourself. See the link in my previous post.

apt-get doesen't seem to know universe either...
(and i read your link ... it didn't say anything about getting apt-file ... so now i'm totally confused :-))

i don't want to sound like a total idiot, but really, all i've ever used of linux before was a little bit of knoppix ... i'm dropping windows almost completely (only usin' it for a few games and to load stuff to and from my pocketPC)
Thanks for your help so far!

[PMO6022]

Ok. Check out this link: http://www.psychocats.net/linux/sources.php for how to enable the additional repositories. Once you have done that, a simplesudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 will install it and any dependancies.

You don't really need apt-file, it is just a nice tool for discovering to which package a particular file belongs. If you want it, it is in the universe repository. If you do install it, you need to periodically runsudo apt-file updateto keep it up to date with changes in the repos.

Good luck!

For me it was indeed the installation of libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2. That's what helped me get dynu working properly. Thanks.

I just had a same problem with amd64 but I am not able to solve it.
I can't find libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

I have seached packages.ubuntu.com but I can't find the package other than for i386 but not for amd64?

Were you ever able to figure out how to get around this issue? I am currently stuck with the same problem and cannot figure it out. Thanks.

[jim.guenzel]

the code executed in terminal:
sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
worked for me. VNC 4.2.6 works now
Thank you!
Jim

on amd64 I just --force-all the install on the i386 package (its still backward-compatible). nxclient/vnc worked.

PMO6022:Thanks for the SUPER pointer about apt-file!!

If anyone is still having issues here, here's a step-by-step:

1) Update your sources.list: UbuntuGuide:How_to_add_extra_repositories (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories)
or here for edgy ("http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_add_extra_repositories)
2) sudo apt-get update

3) sudo apt-get install apt-file

4) sudo apt-file update

5) sudo apt-file search libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

my results are
libstdc++2.10-dbg: usr/lib/debug/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2: usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Hence

6) sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

Try installing libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

I also had the same problem when running Eclipse TPTP New Agent Controller, your post helped me to solve this issue. Thanks a lot, also thanks for apt-file I did not know that.

You can find libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 here, I had the missing library problem trying to use RealVNC, this install fixes it:
