simics installation libstdc++.so.6 version not found

Question

I downloaded a tarball of simics from the web. I tried to run the ./simics-gui and I get this error

/home/leungtimothy/Desktop/simics/simics-4.0.60/amd64-linux/sys/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1)
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so

I looked up a lot of posts, most of them are relate to linking problem. I am not able to find a libstdc++.so.6 on my 64 bits ubuntu v13.04 .

Any ideas about how to fix this?

Thank you so much

Answer 1

libstdc++ is the GNU Standard C++ library, which will be required by applications built with the GNU C++ compiler.

Evidently libstdc++6 is not installed on your system. It is typically installed by installing the GNU C++ compiler:

sudo apt-get install g++

If you don't need the compiler you can install libstdc++6 independently:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

Answer 2

I believe that Simics also ships with a few system libraries, that you can find in the installed base package (directory simics-<version>), at the path <host>/sys/lib/, where libstdc++.so.6 is one of them.

Answer 3

Looking at the path, it looks like it is Simics 4.0 which is over 8 years olds.

I suggest download and install the latest version of Simics from a proper source,
