libstdc++.so.5 installed but not found

[sempi]

Copernicus1234 I wouldn't be comfortable installing 32-bit libs on an amd64 install, and also where possible choose the Ubuntu ones rather than debian's versions - see the better link to Ubuntu's package above.

Note that deb packages can be extracted by by typing this command in a shell:

dpkg-deb --extract <deb> <directory>

Also if you prefer not to copy the so into the system library folder, you can set

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to point where the 32 bit libs are located (e.g. somewhere in your home directory.

My ubuntu eclipse start bash script:

#!/bin/bash

# http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=135#c30
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true

# 32 bit libraries used for GWT
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/bin/lib32

# fix bug with mouse clicks not being registered in eclipse
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/:$PATH
$HOME/bin/eclipse-3.5-ubuntu/eclipse $@;

Apparently, there are different ways to resolve this issue regarding the removal of libstdc++5 in Ubuntu 9.10.

I would like just to make the same contribution here. I've just posted a blog about this and it can be reached through this link:

Thanks all! I was getting

libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when trying to install Xilinx 9.2i under Karmic. This fixed my problem pronto (after 2 hours of searching!). Thanks.

This may help, http://www.digitalenigma.net/directo...gid=2009111000. It's a little tutorial I posted on my website.

Thank you, your instructions helped me get my Epson Aculaser CX11NF to work, it also needed the 32 bit libstdc++5.
