How to resolve oninit error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI

Troubleshooting

Problem

This article describes a possible problem on a Linux distribution with a kernel version of 2.6 depending on the version of library libstdc++

Symptom

The oninit executable can at startup return an error on some Linux distributions like Redhat Entreprise Server 4 x86_64 ( Kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP) with IBM® Informix® Dynamic Server™ 10.00.FC4 and 10.00.FC5

Example

$ oninit oninit: /lib64/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by oninit)
On some Linux distributions, libstdc++.so.5 does not exist or is linked with
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.3 like libstdc++.so.6. On Redhat Linux
Entreprise Server x86_64 the rpm package installed is
libstdc++-3.4.5-2.x86_64.rpm (64bits package) and
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3 (32bits package) and the following files are installed:

$ rpm -ql libstdc++ /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
