Dear SLESians, when a program reports it requires libstdc++5 … is there a chance to get it running on SLES12: SLES 12 contains only libstdc++6: Thanks and regards, Thomas [CODE]host:/ # zypper se libstdc++6 Refreshing service ‘SUSE\_Linux\_Enterprise\_Server\_12\_x86\_64’.

With the help of Novell Support we found the following clean solution, which utilizes the service channel “Legacy\_Module\_12\_86\_64”, to provide the - as novell support call it - ancient Version of libstdc++ that the Networker client needs: 1.) Installation of Legacy Module 12 ` host:/ # yast2 repositories Available Extensions and Modules ... [x] Legacy Module 12 x86_64 ... ` after that: [CODE] host:/ # zypper lr # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh —±----------------------------------------------------------------±--------------------------------------±--------±------- 1 | Legacy\_Module\_12\_x86\_64:SLE-Module-Legacy12-Debuginfo-Pool | SLE-Module-Legacy12-Debuginfo-Pool | Yes | No 2 | Legacy\_Module\_12\_x86\_64:SLE-Module-Legacy12-Debuginfo-Updates | SLE-Module-Legacy12-Debuginfo-Updates | Yes | Yes 3 | Legacy\_Module\_12\_x86\_64:SLE-Module-Legacy12-Pool | SLE-Module-Legacy12-Pool | Yes | No 4 | Legacy\_Module\_12\_x86\_64:SLE-Module-Legacy12-Updates | SLE-Module-Legacy12-Updates | Yes | Yes … host:/ # [/CODE] 2.) Installation of libstdc++ zypper in libstdc++33 libstdc++33-32bit now we have: ` host:/dir/# # rpm -ql libstdc++33 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 host:/dir/ # rpm -ql libstdc++33-32bit /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 host:/dir/ # ` 3.) finally, the installation of Legato Client, e.g. Version 8.2 ` host:/dir/ # rpm -U lgtoclnt-8.2.0.5-1.x86_64.rpm host:/dir/ # ` The networker service is now running cleanly, as does the backup of the SLES 12 host.

Hi Thomas, > when a program reports it requires libstdc++5 … is there a chance to get it running on SLES12: SLES 12 contains only libstdc++6: I don’t have a SLES12 system at hand - but you might want to search for “libstdc” instead of “libstdc++6”… I remember that SLES11 had at least libstdc++33 and libstdc++46. If you cannot find anything in the standard distribution repos, give the SDK a try as well. Regards, Jens ---

Hi Thomas, yes, had I been a bit slower 😉 But I learned how to do it on SLES12, so many thanks to you, for getting back with the update! Regards, Jens
