Re: problem during "make"

[Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@bessy.de>]

EPICS base contains C++ code and uses the C++ standard library.

To run binaries that contain C++ code, the machine running the binary 
must at least have the C++ runtime libraries installed. Which libraries 
are needed depends on the operating system. Even different flavours of 
Linux may have different names or places for libraries.

You should run your package manager (or whatever your Linux was 
installed from) and try to select and install the C++ runtime and 
standard libraries. If you want to compile code for EPICS on the Linux 
platform, you will need the complete gnu C++ compiler on your machine.

In your case the EPICS installation was probably created on a machine 
that had everything installed, but you're trying to run it on a machine 
that misses the runtime libraries (in your case libstdc++.so.5).

Hope this helps...

Good luck!
