How to install flock 1.2 in fedora

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/how-to-install-flock-1-2-in-fedora.92992/

Downloaded tar.gz file from flock's official site. I have tried the usual method of

./configure
make
make install

and

./flock

in terminal as root but none is working.

The second one says

[root@localhost flock]# ./flock
./flock-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libstdc++ is available.

Please help.

Are u sure libstdc++ is available?
Try "rpm -qa | grep libstdc" n give the output here. If its not there, u can install via " yum install compat-lib* ".

^^
rpm -qa lists all the packages, output piped (|) to
grep libstdc search for the pattern "libstdc"
and listing if found
lolz

Yeah

I think he has "libstdc++" package installed n not the "compat-libstdc++"!

libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386
libstdc++-devel-4.3.0-8.i386

seems like you are true

^^......

@thinkfree : Try " yum install compat-lib* " n then try flock n the whole installation again perhaps if necessary.
