M2 on linux mint 17.1 missing particular versions of libstdc++6

[d.markushevich]

Hello,

I installed M2 from Debian jessie main using synaptic package manager. M2 is not running and is providing the diagnostic:

/usr/bin/M2-binary: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /usr/bin/M2-binary)
/usr/bin/M2-binary: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/bin/M2-binary)

I tried "sudo apt-get install libstdc++6", but M2 behaves in the same way.


Can you help me, how to repair this?

Here are more details on my system:

Which c++ library is installed:

libstdc++6
Bibliothèque GNU C++ standard v3
Version 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04

It turns out, I installed a wrong distribution. A colleague explained to me that Mint Mate is a kind of Ubuntu and that I had to install a Ubuntu package, and not the Debian one. So I uninstalled the Debian package and installed the one for Ubuntu 14.04 trusty, and it works perfectly.
