    Question How to run executable?

    I'm on a UNIX system and have compiled my first program called "hello world". I named the binary code helloWorld and get a file called helloWorld*. When I try to run it I get this message:

    ld.so.1: helloWorld: fatal: libstdc++.so.2.10.0: open failed: No such file or directory Killed

    The code compiled just fine; I used and 7-line example right out of a book, what gives?

    Were you using gcc? If so, tell us the exact syntax you used to compile it. I know gcc has a lot of flags and exceptions and you might have either compiled it to object code or some other type of format. I mess up UNIX flags all the time.

    are you running it with the full path statement? If not... does your PATH statement reflect running binaries from the directory you are in...?

    biosx -

    I'm using the 'c++' compiler on my system; this is the exact syntax,

    % c++ helloWorld.c -o helloWorld

    And again, it seems to create a binary executable in the /bin directory that looks like 'helloWorld*'.

    Betazap -

    Since I haven't explicitly stated any thing that resembles a 'path statement', I'm probably not running a full path statement, but just to be clear below is the source code.

    /****************************************

    Description:
    A small C++ program that says 'Hello, world!'

    ****************************************/

    // Various include files
    #include <iostream.h>

    int main ()
    {
    std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
    }


    PS I don't think this should make a difference, but I'm on a Win2000 PC logged into a Sun Enterprise machine thru a telnet session, everything I'm doing is in the command line environment of UNIX to include the editor (vi).

    Cheers, Hugo

    No, this shouldn't make a difference. The build environment is your Sun machine. That's the environment where compiling and linking is done.

    I could compile the source-code, used gpp. That's not the problem. The problem is linking

    >ld.so.1:

    If I am correct, ld is the linker. So this process encounters a fatal error and is being killed. And it seems that it cannot open a binary file called libstdc++.so.2.10.0 (?).

    Check to see if there is a library called libstdc++.so.2.10.0 in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib /lib and maybe a few other places. libstdc++.so usually is a soft link to the real library file, so make sure that libstdc++.so points to a valid file. You might also want to try a compile with g++.
