Oracle Linux: Installation of compat-libstdc Fails with "Unable to find a match: compat-libstdc"

edited Feb 16, 2024 11:02PM in Linux

APPLIES TO:

Linux OS - Version Oracle Linux 8.0 and later

Linux x86-64


SYMPTOMS

An application on Oracle Linux 8 requires compat-libstdc++-33, however when installing through the available yum repos:

[root@hostname~]# yum install compat-libstdc 
This system is receiving updates from Unbreakable Linux Network or Spacewalk. 
Last metadata expiration check: 2:31:15 ago on Thu 25 May 2023 02:11:13 AM EDT. 
No match for argument: compat-libstdc 
Error: Unable to find a match: compat-libstdc 


CAUSE

The compat-libstdc++-33 package is not provided on Oracle Linux 8 repositories.

 

SOLUTION

If an application requires compat-libstdc++-33, check with the vendor of the application for other solutions as it is not provided in Oracle Linux 8.

Howdy, Stranger!
