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?

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.

This solution work on my case i am using ubuntu 16.04, VirtualBox 2.7.2 and genymotion 2.7.2
Same error come in my system i have followed simple step and my problem was solve

1. $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

4. $ sudo apt-get update

5. $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9

I hope this will work for you

Had the same error when installing PhantomJS on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with gcc-4.8 (CXXABI_1.3.7)

Upgrading to gcc-4.9 (CXXABI_1.3.8) fixed the issue. HOWTO:

I ran into this issue on my Ubuntu-64 system when attempting to import fst within python as such:

    Python 3.4.3 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Jun  4 2015, 15:29:08)

>>> import fst

I then ran:

cp /home/ogi/miniconda3/libgcc-5-5.2.0-2/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /home/ogi/miniconda3/lib/

At which point I was then able to load the library
