vditool: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5
Posted on March 27th, 2008 by linux
I have recently run into a problem when I was trying to convert vmware virtual machine to virtualbox using vditool. Apparently having the latest software is not always good idea. vditool is complaining that it is missing libstdc++.so.5 library. I have only installed libstdc++.so.6 which is there by default. libstdc++.so.5 belongs to gcc-3.3-base compiler.
Here is the error message:
/usr/local/bin/vditool: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
to fix this problem you need to install libstdc++5 :
apt-get install libstdc++5
This will hopefully solve your problem.
