CentOS C++ compat libs

Posted by Treg in Linux

The latest stable CentOS release (4.4) isn’t compatible with some “older” software (compiled against other depencies). So today an application I wanted to install broke up. “Unable to find libstdc++.so.5 …” cause version libstdc++.so.6 is the standard installed version.

You can easily solve this by installing the CentOS C++ compatibility library:
yum -y install compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33
