I am trying to use synergy and when I run synergyc or synergys it shows the error:

synergys: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by synergys)

I don't have that version as shown by this command:

strings /usr/lib/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
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBC_2.0
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.1
GLIBC_2.3.4
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.2
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

How can I get GLIBCXX3.4.14? I tried apt-get install libstdc++6-4.4-dbg libstdc++6-4.4-dev, but that wont install that version.

I uninstalled synergy and reinstalled it using Synaptic (Ubuntu Software Center), this time it worked.

sudo apt-get remove synergy
sudo apt-get install synergy

Did you take a look at this link here?

Excerpt from source:

Ok, go here - http://pkgs.org/download/libstdc++.so.6%28GLIBCXX_3.4.14%29 , download the file labeled libstdc++4.6.2-1.fc17.1.i686.rpm or the 64 bit version. Open it up with archive manager. Open the first folder and copy the next folder over the usr folder and you should be set. You might have to be root in order to do this. After that, it should work like a charm...

  • According to the attached link, you are looking for a file called libstdc++4.6.2-1.fc17.1.i686.rpm, that is under Fedora Rawhide. Please follow the source link which is actually a discussion and read it once before trying to install it.
