Can RHEL7 use GLIBCXX_3.4.21 and CXXABI_1.3.9 or newer?

Latest response

Dear community

I am trying to install some software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo), and required gcc>4.9 or newer, and GLIBCXX_3.4.21 and CXXABI_1.3.9.

All the new software I use (bioinformatics) come asking for these... And the gcc and libstdc++.so.6 installed in REHL 7 does not work anymore (even after update).

Is there any way to get those in the system?

Thank you very much,

Leo

Did you get a response or resolution to your question? I'm having a similar issue finding GLIBCXX_3.4.20

In Software Collections and Developer Toolset add-ons, we supply a newer version of gcc and C++ headers which meet the devel API.

However I couldn't see anywhere we supply the OS C++ libraries, so it doesn't look like such a thing will run on EL7, only compile.

You should open a support case to confirm that with our tools team. Compiler ABIs aren't my area of expertise so I may be wrong about the above.

Hi all

Actually it is supplied, at least with my subscription - I installed it! You would need to enable the corresponding develtoolset (apologies but I am away from work and cannot connect now) and install it. If you are still missing the GLIBCXX_3.4.21 and CXXABI_1.3.9, you can download it from GNU, and copy them in the same folder you have the old GLIBCXX and CXXABI...

I made a small document with the steps, but I cannot find it now - apologies. I will try to find it tomorrow.

Hi, Thanks for your reply and thanks for going through your notes. It's interesting you mention the use of devtoolset. I was compiling the package using devtoolset-7 and rh-python36 from SCL so I'd be curious if you were using the same one.

I might try the direct download from GNU and see if that works as a stop gap measure.

Cheers.
