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

[Plague]

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].

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

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. 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 .

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

this works on 12.04:

sudo apt-get -f install libstdc++5 libaio1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 xaw3dg libmikmod2 oss-compat
