In Linux(Ubuntu) I am trying to run a tool and it is showing error “library missing”. I don’t have permission to install anything in the system (or simply sudo is not possible from my user account).
Is it possible to install missing library (libstdc++.so.6 in my case) in my home directory (without sudo) and change the environment-variables etc. so that all other tools/programs can find it?
Yes, assuming the library is in
/home/user/lib. You can set use theLD_LIBRARY_PATHenvironment variable to find the lib.LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/lib, which will find the library. If you have to compile it yourself you will want to useconfigure --prefix=/home/user.I’m surprised that
libstdc++.so.6isn’t available on the system already. Take a look in/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. If could just be your program isn’t multiarch aware.
