Installing Creator on Ubuntu Linux
My laptop hard drive recently went on the blink. I look at a hard disk failure as an opportunity rather than a panic attack. Replacing my hard drive usually gives me the opportunity to try out new Linux distributions. There has been lots of hype around
Ubuntu lately so I thought I would give it a try. I installed Kubuntu (KDE version of Ubuntu) 5.10. Since I had Knoppix on my disk before, I immediately had to get used to the fact that Ubuntu didn't install the world + the universe. This is goodness. One has to remember, however, that more packages will have to be added later. Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, updating and installing are very simple. Don't get me wrong. I really love Knoppix and still run it on two of my personal machines.
So to get to the topic, in setting up my machine for Java Studio Creator development, I ran into a problem installing the Sun Application Server Platform Edition (PE). Since Creator installs PE during its installation, you will see something during the installation complaining about missing libstdc++ libraries. Here's how to get around that.
- do dpkg -L libstdc++5 to see if you already have the libstdc++5 package installed. If you do, a list of the installed files will show up like this:
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libstdc++5
/usr/share/doc/libstdc++5/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libstdc++5/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/libstdc++5/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
- If you don't see the list of files, you'll need to install the libstdc++5 package by running these commands as root.
apt-get update
apt-get install libstdc++5
- Next you need to create a symbolic link for the library in question by running this command as root.
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
A special thanks to my team mate and fellow Linux head Marco Walther for helping me with this problem. Marco has Suse installed and was able to work out what symbolic links where needed.

apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
apt-get install libstdc++2.10-dev
You can avoid the soft links this way. I think debian/ubuntu put the compat-libstdc libraries in this name, kinda confusing...
