Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • java-1.7.0-oracle-plugin-1.7.0.65-1jpp.2.el5_10

Issue

  • java-1.7.0-oracle-plugin-1.7.0.65-1jpp.2.el5_10 requires GLIBCXX_3.4.9 but libstdc++ only provides GLIBCXX_3.4.8
$ ldd /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-oracle.x86_64/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-oracle.x86_64/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-oracle.x86_64/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so)
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff89ffd000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002b8b4a825000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b8b4ab25000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002b8b4ae7f000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002b8b4b08d000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000335d000000)
