libstdc++ GLIBCXX version errors

Question

when I compile a c++ program in my computer using g++ and transfer the executable to run it on my university server, I get

./main: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6:          


        

Answer 1

You can copy your version of the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 to a subdirectory of your home directory of the server, say ~/lib and then run:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib ./main

Or if you prefer

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib
$ ./main

And the program should load your private library instead of the system one.
