libstdc++.so.5: and fglrx_drv.so [Solved]

For anyone else with this problem...took me awhile to figure out

Your getting this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
dlopen: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director
y
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (loader failed, 7)

and the file is in the right spot

[root@x~]# slocate fglrx_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so

The problem is with libstdcc++ not being installed,

pacman -S libstdc++5

should get rid of the problem.

This helped me out a bunch! I was installing on a new computer and was confronted by this problem... would you file a bug report if you havent already for libstdc++5 to be added to the "depends" line of the ati-fglrx package.

No, libstdc++5 is part of the "depends" line of ati-fglrx-utils - and this is already done correctly, afaik.  The kernel module does _not_ depend on libstdc++5.so, the userspace utilities (ie. xorg driver) do.

-edit- crap, it's not there.  It used to be, I'm sure of it.  Yeah, a bug-report needs to be filed... I think this is probably my fault.
