stupid question i think, (linux noob here)

./armyops-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by ./armyops-bin)
./armyops-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by ./armyops-bin)

I'm using Fedora Core 3, how do i get these files?

can somebody help me

Thank you

You probably have newer versions of those files. You can crete sym links with the old names that point to the newer files.

thanks for you're fast reply
but how do you create sym links? (i was a noob remember :P)

[jaboua]

ln -sf /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

Replace "/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6" (the first argument) with the existing libstdc++.

I wanted to run cube on my debian stable distro, but when trying to run received the error:

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

After much searching and digging around I can now offer others in a similer situation a solution, while still staying as debian stable.
first I added the foloowing to my /etc/sources.list:

deb http://debian.ethz.ch/pub/debian-backports woody/backports gcc-3.3
deb-src http://debian.ethz.ch/pub/debian-backports woody/backports gcc-3.3

then I was able to do the following command:

apt-get update
apt-get install -t unstable python2.2 gcc-3.3 g++-3.3

I then ran debfoster to clean up all the uneeded packages.

Now this is the excact process that I did on my machine and it worked. I have included everything for the sake that others can take the relevant bits and ignore the rest, while unexperianced users can just do exacltly as I did with a better chance of success. In theory you should only have to do apt-get install libstdc++-5 probably with the above sources in sources.list. But then I did not do this so I cant be sure this will work alone.
