[SOLVED] /lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

lozzaaa · 2012-02-29 13:51:52

I keep getting this error when trying to run applications such as firefox and thunderbird.
It's pretty clear it's a problem with gcc but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Every other solved thread was something to do with updating the gcc, gcc-libs and glibc packages but mine all seem to be up to date.

local/gcc 4.6.2-7 (base-devel)
local/gcc-libs 4.6.2-7 (base)
local/glibc 2.15-6 (base)
local/libstdc++5 3.3.6-4

Also running strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX gives:

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

which shows 3.4.15 is there.

I've pretty much run out of ideas at this point, thanks for any help.

try ldd on the binaries or LD_DEBUG=files to see whether or not it loads the correct libstdc++, since gcc ships libstdc++.so.6, and you have libstdc++5 also installed. So they might be using the wrong one?

I don't have access to my laptop at the moment so I can't try what you suggested until tomorrow.

Are you saying that libstdc++5 is a separate older version? Shall I just remove it so that it uses the newer built-in one instead?

Thanks.

Is your glibc package fully up-to-date?

lozzaaa · 2012-02-29 20:52:50

Yeah I posted all the version numbers at the top. They were all updated with pacman -Syu and then individually as well to make sure.

Did an ldd on the firefox binary and found it was using /lib/libstdc++.so.6 not /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
Inspected the strings of the /lib/ version and lo and behold it only went up to 3.4.14
Copied the /usr/lib/ version over to /lib/ and it fixed everything.

Thanks Blµb!

the question is why do you have a copy in /lib/libstdc++.so.6 ? what package owns that file?

lozzaaa · 2012-03-02 15:15:45

Yes and why does Firefox use it over the /usr/lib version?

Is there any way to find out?

wonder · 2012-03-02 15:41:13

pacman -Qo /lib/libstdc++.so.6

lozzaaa · 2012-03-05 10:37:22

I just did it and got: "error: No package owns /lib/libstdc++.so.6"

Not really sure how I got to be in this situation.

delete it

lozzaaa · 2012-03-05 12:33:05

But firefox still uses the one in that location. How do I make it use the /usr/lib one instead?

it used that because it found it first.
