    Program can't find libstdc++.so.6

    I'm running a fresh install of Precise on a 64 bit HP G62 laptop. I'm trying to run a program called ChatScript (http://sourceforge.net/projects/chatscript/) which ran fine on this machine on Precise before I wiped everything and did the fresh install. Now I'm getting:

    Code:
    ./LinuxChatScript32 local./LinuxChatScript32: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    but the file is there:
    Code:
    locate libstdc++.so.6
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16
    Is this a path issue? I've run into those before, but never with this file. Not quite sure how to proceed and could use some guidance.

    regards, Richard

    The name LinuxChatScript32 would suggest it's a 32-bit binary - so it won't work with your 64-bit /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 shared lib

    If that's the case, you *may* be able to get it to work with ia32-libs if you can't find a 64-bit native version of the program

    Damn! I knew I was forgetting something obvious. Thanks Steeldriver, that did the trick.

    I'd mark this as solved, but that functionality does not seem to have survived the upgrade.
