Missing c++ library?

[killuah]

Hello and thanks for reading.

I am trying to get the newest Fortran compiler working with Ubuntu.

I installed the compiler and set the variables via source /opt/etc...
Now whenever I try to compile a source file, I get

/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/056/bin/ia32/fortcom: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ifort: error #10273: Fatal error in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/056/bin/ia32/fortcom, terminated by 0x7f
What am I missing? I already tried reinstalling the c++ libraries but that did nothing...
Thanks for reading again

Which specific Linux distro and version are you using?

The Release Notes contain details of what is required. You probably need compat-libstdc++.

The note on Ubuntu at the top of the forum specifies the apt-get command which should install libstdc++.so.5. While red hat calls it compat-libstdc++, the other distros use different names. This library is required in addition to the more current versions which g++ requires.
