yast glibc not found

[richardthompson100]

When I run yast, I get:

/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/libycp.so.3)
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/libycp.so.3)

But, these files do exist:

l /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-10-09 10:45 /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.9

I have installed other versions of gcc (4.2.3), because I needed it for MatLab.

Did my installation of 4.2.3 overwrite the C library? If so, how can I maintain two different versions of gcc?

Without yast, I'm not even sure how to manage packages from the command line.

Here's my installation:

OS: Linux 2.6.27.29-0.1-default i686
System: openSUSE 11.1 (i586)
KDE: 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 169"


Thanks in advance.

You could try this in a su terminal

rpmdb --rebuilddb

it takes a little while.

[richardthompson100]

Thanks, but the rebuilddb didn't help. Any other ideas?

[caf4926]

Can you get the result of this from a terminal

zypper lr -d

[richardthompson100]

Seems like zypper is having the same problems as yast (or this was the source of the error in yast):

zypper: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.10' not found (required by zipper)
zypper: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/libzypp.so.523)

[caf4926]

Go here:
Index of /distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse

Depending if you are _64 or not get this rpm:
libstdc++43

Save it and manually install it like this from a su terminal

rpm -ihv *packagename.rpm --force

see if that sorts it

[Akoellh]

No, installing or rebuilding anything related to rpm will not help at all.

and here's the reason:

l /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-10-09 10:45 /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.9
