libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file

[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

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??

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The problem is that libstdc++5 is obsolete and the -dev package you need for compiling is old.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.

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

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

/etc/apt/sources.list

adding:
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

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

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
