[gentoo-user] emerge broken - libstdc++.so.5

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I've been working through some updates on my wife's machine and now
it appears emerge itself has been broken:

dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv bash
/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dragonfly ~ #

   gcc and glibc updates were part of what was going on.

   I have some other Gentoo machines here at home if I need to copy something.

   How can I recover?

   First time in 3-4 years of running Gentoo that anything like this
has happened!

Thanks,
Mark

Like many things in life this pain seems to be somewhat self
inflicted, I suppose. More into.

After emerging gcc-3.4.6 I had troubles with the gcc-config stuff so I
removed gcc-3.3.6. However it appears that removing 3.3.6 removed
libstdc++ also. I updated slocate's database and saw that the only
libraries with that name are gone now:

dragonfly ~ # slocate libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/libstdc++.so.5
dragonfly ~ # updatedb
dragonfly ~ # slocate libstdc++.so.5
dragonfly ~ #


More info:

It seems that my AMD64 machine has a number of these:

I have never done it but don't worry, you are definitely not alone.  I
guess that is why the page is there.  ;-)

Hi,
   For a few moments I thought this might be the problem, and I though
I might end up on the Wall of Shame (tm) but in fact this doesn't
solve my problem since it doesn't install libstdc++.so.5

dragonfly ~ # gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 *
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardened
 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopie
 [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopiessp
 [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednossp
 [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
 [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
 [8] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
 [9] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
 [10] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
dragonfly ~ # source /etc/profile
dragonfly ~ # updatedb
dragonfly ~ # slocate libstdc++.so.5
dragonfly ~ #

dragonfly ~ # eix libstd
eix: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
dragonfly ~ #


Do I need to do the same tar install of libstdc++ from the website
listed in the Gentoo Wiki you pointed me at?

On my AMD64 machine I can see where this comes from:

lightning ~ # equery belongs /usr/lib64/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib64/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5 in *... ]
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4 (/usr/lib64/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5 ->
libstdc++.so.5.0.6)
lightning ~ #

But python won't run any of this stuff on this machine since it cannot
get this library.

What am I not understanding? Seems like maybe I need to go back to an
install CD and get something but not sure what.

Thanks,
Mark

That's the file you need in order to save yourself.  Then follow the

That's because the tarball pointed to from that page is for 3.4.x,
which contains libstdc++.so.6 - libstdc++.so.5 is the shared library
from gcc 3.3.x, which is not binary compatible with libstdc++.so.6 -
hence, to recover using the method described on that Wiki page, you
need to find a 3.3.x tarball.

Does anyone have one already that they can offer? If not, let me know
your -march and etc., and I will see if I can compile/upload one for
you.

Thanks James. The required tarball is on the above referenced page.
I'm downloading it now.

I wanna say that about half my knowledge I get from fixing things that
have gone wrong...  okay, things that have gone wrong because of a
misintended command from me.

So, do I get a friend on the wall of shame?  Or are we in denial?  ; )

Great to hear you got it working.
