Running .BIN files

[moleman]

Hello there, I've been having problems running a .bin file, specifically trying to load the Java sdk onto Ubuntu. When I try to run it, I get the error "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

 

I don't know much about Linux, but I know that libstdc++6 is up to date. I have no idea if it'll help anything though.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

thanks

Try doing this from a terminal:

 

Code:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

(found here)

 

And then run the install again. I imagine this problem is probably due to old versions of libstdc++ being used by the Java SDK installer.

 

Let us know if this solves the problem. :)

Thanks for the response :)

 

Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem. Do you think that it would work if I tried an older java sdk?

 

Edit: I tried another one and it worked just fine. I'm guessing Sun messed up that file ;)
