Google Earth, version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found

[DavidMarec]

Bonjour,


I am trying to run google-earth on a FreeBSD 7.2 box.

But, while the installation step was successfull, i get the following error when I launch the software.


david:~>googleearth
./googleearth-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libgoogleearth_lib.so)
./googleearth-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libbase.so)


Upgrading linux_base-f7 to linux_base-f8 do not solve the issue.

any idea to get the right version of glibc++ ?

What is the output of sysctl compat.linux.osrelease?

2.6.16. I tried 2.6.18, also.

Same problem (linux_base-f8)
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease is same

Guess that google-earth is not the only linux port that fails running with this stuff.

For curiosity I've tested it on fc4 too.
Slightly different message, but same result.
Maybe it's better asking the maintainer.

all other linux ports work fine (i.e. flashplugin-10 and Skype:) )

Actually, upgrading to linux_base-f10 has solved the issue.
But, while the GUI is displayed correctly, i get a black screen instead of the map drawings.

AFAIK, 7.x doesn't support linux_base-f10 completely.

Just for interest sake, I have Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit and I get exactly the same error:


./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libgoogleearth_lib.so)
./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libbase.so)


Output of uname -a:

"Linux eugene-work 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

Okay found the solution here, at least for my Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit:

Solution


"Remove or rename libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 in the installation
directory"

won't work for FreeBSD :(
