libstdc++.so.5 not found

Hi there

I recently made pacman -Syu and upgraded to gcc 4.1.1 and matching binutils. Now, when i try opening a rar file, all i get is

unrar: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, is this an issue with new gcc, as libstdc belongs to gcc? or shall i just wait for another upgrade?

thx

issue

Re: libstdc++.so.5 not found

try upgrading your unrar also, you may have an older version that depended on libstdc++.so.5, I am pretty sure the new version is .so.6, you can make a softlink between the two if upgrading doesn't work:

ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.2 libstdc++.so.5

Rar is newest version, but i cannot find  unrar.
If i make a softlink i get the following

[issue@kiwi lib]$ rar
rar: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by rar)
rar: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by rar)

Re: libstdc++.so.5 not found

pacman -S libstdc++5

gcc once had this inside the package, but it took 20 min more to recompile gcc for every update so it has been splitted...
