libstdc++ error when trying to install ESM

[Gregory Lee]

Trying to install ESM Linux agent on my Redhat 7.1 box but I'm encountering libstdc++ errors:

[root@esm]# ./esmsetup
./esmsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2:
cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

[root@esm]# rpm -q libstdc++
libstdc++-2.96-81

[root@esm]# rpm -ql libstdc++
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

[root@esm]# file esmsetup
esmsetup: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped


Did a search on rpmfind and found out that the library it is looking for (libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2) is actually for Mandrake 8.2

Does that mean the executable was compiled using the libs from Mandrake? Is there anyway I can get it to run on my RedHat box using the stock version of the libraries?

I tried to link the file it was asking for to the file that was on my box, but no go.

Nope. What you're looking for is the RPM:

compat-libstd++

The RH 6.1 media has it (called 'compat-libstd++-6.2-2.9.0.14.rpm') and you should be able to install it from there.
