cvicc not working on recent redhat install

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all, here's the problem:

$ cvicc
cvicc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

$ locate libstdc++.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.1/libstdc++.so

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

$ cvicc
cvicc: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2.2' not found (required
by cvicc)
cvicc: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by
cvicc)
cvicc: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by
cvicc)


Some kind of binary incompatibility between libc versions ?

Hello Guillaume -

While I haven't recently tried Red Hat, I did try a recent Scientific Linux, which should be nearly identical.  On the SL installation, I needed to install compat-libstdc++-33-...  Maybe you can find a similar package in Red Hat?

Thanks, I was on SL5.5 too, but didn't mention it out of fear of getting a
'never heard of it'. It's fixed now.
PS: when is a new cvicc coming out ?!? It's still at version 8.0, almost 4
years old now.

Hey Guillaume -

We have actually just completed development of the next major version of the LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Module for Linux.  It should be available within the next few weeks.
