yum remove libstdc++

[pallavibhat]

As per my knowledge, libstdc++ is the standard C++ library package.
Since, i had installed it during c++ compiler installation, i dont think uninstallation of C++ compiler would anyway affect other packages.

But when i uninstalled this package with the command "yum remove libstdc++"

all the commands ls, cp, mv or rm and many more are not working.

These were removed during uninstallation of libstdc++, which i am very much sure if. And after this uninstallation, when i came out of the session, i am unable to login into the server back again.

Ideally this shouldnt be the case, but i am curious to know why this is so.

The libstdc and libstdc++ libraries are used by MANY Linux applications. When you removed the library with yum, all packages and applications that rely on it were also removed, or became nonfunctional. At this point, your best option is likely to reinstall the OS.
