usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu libstdc so 6 version CXXABI 1 3 8 not found

Question

I recently asked for help https   stackoverflow com questions 20253515 no-idea-as-to-usr-lib-x86-64-linux-gnu-libstdc-so-6-version-cxxabi-1-3-8 and it got downvoted and closed  I don t know why   It turns out that  make install  - the make target that installs and implies the target  install-target-libstdc  v3  doesn t actually mean you re ready to go    I ve been stuck for a while wondering what I was doing wrong because I assumed that such a make target would do that for me   I hope this answer helps at least one other person

For all those stuck with a similar problem, run the following:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

When you compile and install GCC it does put the libraries here but that's it. As the FAQs say ( http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq.html#faq.how_to_set_paths ) you need to add it.

I assumed "How do I insure that the dynamically linked library will be found? " meant "how do I make sure it is always found" not "it wont be found, you need to do this"

For those who don't bother setting a prefix, it is /usr/local/lib64

You can find this mentioned briefly when you install gcc if you read the make output:

Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib/../lib32
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Grr that was simple! Also "if you ever happen to want to link against the installed libraries" - seriously?

In my case it was gcc 6 the one missing sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g  -6 -y   Update sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g  -7 -y

What the other answers suggest will work for the program in question  but it has the potential to cause breakage in other programs and unknown dependence elsewhere   It s better to make a tiny wrapper script      bin sh export LD LIBRARY PATH  usr local lib64  LD LIBRARY PATH program needing different run time library path   This mostly avoids the problem described in Why LD LIBRARY PATH is bad by confining the effects to the program which needs them   Note that despite the names LD RUN PATH works at link-time and is non-evil  while LD LIBRARY PATH works at both link and run time  and is evil

I had the same problem on my Ubuntu 14 04 when tried to install TopTracker  I got such errors       usr share toptracker bin TopTracker     usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu libstdc   so 6  version  CXXABI 1 3 8  not   found  required by  usr share toptracker bin TopTracker     usr share toptracker bin TopTracker     usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu libstdc   so 6  version  GLIBCXX 3 4 21  not   found  required by  usr share toptracker bin TopTracker     usr share toptracker bin TopTracker     usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu libstdc   so 6  version  CXXABI 1 3 9  not   found  required by  usr share toptracker bin TopTracker    But I then installed gcc 4 9 version and problem gone   sudo add-apt-repository ppa ubuntu-toolchain-r test sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc-4 9 g  -4 9

I ve got correct solution here   The best way to correctly install gcc-4 9 and set it as your default gcc version use   sudo add-apt-repository ppa ubuntu-toolchain-r test sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc-4 9 g  -4 9 sudo update-alternatives --install  usr bin gcc gcc  usr bin gcc-4 9 60 --slave  usr bin g   g    usr bin g  -4 9   The --slave  with g    will cause g   to be switched along with gcc  to the same version  But  at this point gcc-4 9 will be your only version configured in update-alternatives  so add 4 8 to update-alternatives  so there actually is an alternative  by using   sudo apt-get install gcc-4 8 g  -4 8 sudo update-alternatives --install  usr bin gcc gcc  usr bin gcc-4 8 60 --slave  usr bin g   g    usr bin g  -4 8   Then you can check which one that is set  and change back and forth using   sudo update-alternatives --config gcc   NOTE  You could skip installing the PPA Repository and just use  usr bin gcc-4 9-base but I prefer using the fresh updated toolchains
