Problem with octave intallation [solved]

I tried to install qtOctave which of course depends on octave 3.2.4-1.

When I try to start Octave I get this error massage:

octave: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/octave-3.2.4/liboctinterp.so)
octave: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/octave-3.2.4/liboctave.so)

I have no idea what to do...

Re: Problem with octave intallation [solved]

I've seen this issue with programs compiled with GCC 4.5.0. Problem is that you need the libstdc++.so.6 symlink linked to correct library.

Re: Problem with octave intallation [solved]

Those are the relevant files and symlinks:

# file /usr/lib/libstdc++*
/usr/lib/libstdc++.a:         current ar archive
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so:        symbolic link to `libstdc++.so.6.0.13'
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6:      symbolic link to `libstdc++.so.6.0.13'
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped

How can I correct this problem?
And is there someone I should inform about it (after all its from the repos.)?

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so:        symbolic link to `libstdc++.so.6.0.13'
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6:      symbolic link to `libstdc++.so.6.0.13'

Is your gcc-libs up to date, it should link to libstdc++.so.6.0.14 ?

Re: Problem with octave intallation [solved]

After installing/updating gcc-libs it's working fine...

# pacman -S gcc-libs
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): gcc-libs-4.5.0-1  

Total Download Size:    0.61 MB
Total Installed Size:   2.65 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

If gcc-libs (4.5) is needed to run octave shouldn't it be a dependency?

thanks a lot anyway.

should be.

btw, can you mark the post as solved.
