I am usin

Answer 1

It seems that your libstdc++.so.6 is too old for your program, You can try to update you libstdc++.so. In my centos7, my libstdc++.so.6 is linked to libstdc++.so.6.0.19

libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.19

There are the strings in it

[root]#strings libstdc++.so.6|grep GLIBC
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12

Maybe you could download a newer version and relink the libstdc++.so.6, but you should care about are other programs in you system still work well.

Update this lib you should vary careful, It may take new problems, I had replaced the libc.so.6, then all commands can't work, I used /sbin/sln fix it. See glibc: elf file OS ABI invalid

Download libstdc++ from pkgs.org, then unpack it.

rpm2cpio libstdc++-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm |cpio -idmv
cp ./usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 /usr/lib64

Maybe you can use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 before you execute your program. Like this

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 ls -hl

Or export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20, but I'm not certain it will work.

If you relink the libstdc++.so.6, be careful.
