====== ASSIST SERVER MANAGER - Please Wait, Initializing ======
====== ASSIST SERVER MANAGER - Port Test Successful ======
====== AUTO STARTING SERVER ======
====== ASSIST SERVER MANAGER - Starting Server ======
====== ASSIST SERVER MANAGER - Loading Normal AA Mode Configuraion ====== /home/snoopy/25Assist/armyops/System/server-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone know?

If you read the error output:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It tells you what's wrong.

Have you tried:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

[SNOOPY817]

Yeah well im really kinda like a noob
to Ubuntu, trying to get the hand of it
but thanks the code worked. :D

[mad_prince]

hi, I've the same problem, but libstdc++.so.5 isn't available in repos anymore. Can u help me? I'd like to play in True Combat. but absence of the file makes that impossible

[mad_prince]

thx, but I still have "libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Maybe it's becouse I have karmic not jaunty?

This worked for me and fixed my shared object file error! Installing the .deb found through that link allowed me to access my Mathematica again. Thanks. :)

(for future reference should anyone need it: this is Mathematica 6 in Karmic, post upgrade, when it worked in Jaunty)

You're on 64-bit?

[mad_prince]

Yes I am. And I also have downloaded package for 64bit.

[Artificial Intelligence]

Yes I am. And I also have downloaded package for 64bit.

True Combat is 32-bit app/game. So you need to install the 32-bit version of libstdc++5 on your 64-bit system.

cd ~/Desktop
wget http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
wget http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb
getlibs -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb

[mad_prince]

It works! Thank YOU very much :D:popcorn:

I found this problem when compiling a code in fortran...
I performed the procedures list (thanks AI) but the same mesage remains...
My fortran is 64-bit. Maybe I need a 64-bit libstdc++5.
Plz, how should be the procedures in this situation??

[Artificial Intelligence]

If you're compiling in 64-bit for 64-bit, you need the 64-bit version of libstdc++5
The problem is that libstdc++5 is obsolete and the -dev package you need for compiling is old. You have to get an old package back from hardy version. (as the -dev package you need to compile is only available there)
You need to uninstall your previous version of libstdc++5 and install the version from hardy and then install the -dev package of it for compiling as it isn't maintained anymore.

Hi,

I followed the link that you furnished. Instead downloading and installing manually I changed my

/etc/apt/sources.list
adding:

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main universe

After that I used the Synaptic Package Manager and fixed the issue. The details are in
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/amd64/gcc-3.3/download

Thanks AI.

[Artificial Intelligence]

Just disable the line afterwards, as it's not a good idea to mix repos.

[keeswouters]

Thanks AI, your recipe worked fine for getting Code Aster (FEA program) running again.
kind regards - kees

[uniden9]

Thanks, this fixed dell openmanage under ubuntu 9.10 for me.

[hienkyoku]

THNX AI it work for me too :)

[Plague]

I did as AI had suggested but when I run
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb
getlibs -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb
I get the following error

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb

both of the downloaded files are on desktop.

If it's on your Desktop, you need first to do:
cd ~/Desktop

hehehe I was on Desktop, otherwise the other command would have failed as well. It s fixed now [found a solution somewhere].

Cheers

THANK YOU AI.
You saved me SO much pain.

Worked for me in:
Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)
Linux 2.6.31-22-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am Ununtu Lucid 64 bit and have same problem and I resolved it
Basically you need to link 32 bit version of libstdc++.so.5
Here is the detailed procedure to do that as a part of Ifort installtion

/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main universe


I did it the same way... adding the line, then
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
and disabling the line in sources.list afterwards.
Thanks, too

[utkarshspat]

Thanks a lot. Thank you very much. Although I wasn't gaming but your help solved my problem that I was getting during the installations of J2EE SDK and while executing a friend's C++ executable file. Artificial Intelligence, you're a :KS.

Thanks a lot! This saved me some time.

I was trying to install Xilinx WebPACK 9.2i on Ubuntu 10.04.
This package is so old that I needed libstdc++5 to install. Ubuntu 10.04 only has libstdc++6 installed by default but that was not enough.

Any way, thanks !

EDIT:

Also if sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
does not work, remember to do
sudo apt-get update
