Fix: Ubuntu 8.04 JeOS, error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5

Posted May 17, 2008 * Comments(4)

While testing out my new local cf development virtual machine I came across a strange error while running the NewsWebservice Sample application for ColdBox. This all worked in in Ubuntu 7.10 but it would seem some thing switched up after the Hardy update.

The error I was getting looked like this:

coldfusion.jsp.CompilationFailedException: Errors reported by Java compiler: jikes: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .

The fix is super simple, Just run this in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
