Hi

I'm trying to build mongo server code for mongo version 3.4 on CentOS 7.6 version. I've installed gcc version 5.5 and having python version 2.7.

The build was successful, but when finally mongo binary created it is showing below exception. Please suggest the solution for this.

buildscripts/scons.py mongod

#./mongod

./mongod: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by ./mongod)

I've below version installed.

Hi -

I suspect that you have built against the GCC 5 libstdc++, but are attempting to run against the system libstdc++, which is a different version.

- Where did you obtain gcc5, and where is it installed?

- Could you please provide the complete SCons invocation you used to build the server?

- What is the output of ldd mongod

- If you run LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(dirname $(/PATH/TO/YOUR/gcc -print-file-name=libstdc++.so)) mongod does it work?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

- Where did you obtain gcc5, and where is it installed?

Amit>> I got gcc 5.5 version from this location

http://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/releases/

after this I follow step 3 "Install from Source" on CentOS

https://linuxhostsupport.com/blog/how-to-install-gcc-on-centos-7/

- Could you please provide the complete SCons invocation you used to build the server?

Amit>> I didn't capture this but, I'll try with lower version of gcc (5.4) and try once again

- What is the output of ldd mongod

Hi -

I'm a little confused. It sounds like you built and installed your own GCC, but you invoked the system gcc binary to query the path to the C++ runtime library. What gcc binary did you use to build the server from source? What does that gcc binary say when called with -print-file-name=libstdc++.so?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Here is output.

Look like it built with lower version of gcc whereas mongod expecting higher version. I'm not sure, but I did install the gcc 5.5.

#/usr/bin/gcc -print-file-name=libstdc++.so

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.5/libstdc++.so

Can you please provide pointers on gcc comptability for mongo 3.4 version

Regards,

Amit

Hi Andrew,

I've again tried to build mongd for version 3.2 with gcc version 4.8. However, I'm still getting the same issue. Please find attached build log.

Hi -

At this point I'm really not sure what is going wrong for you. I suspect that your toolchain is misconfigured somehow. Can you compile and run other non-trivial C++ programs? Have you verified that building a hello world type thing produces a working binary?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I verified sample programs like helloWorld etc. they are working fine.

I'm following the procedure from mongo wiki. Can you please help, if there is some other procedure to build mongod and other.

Hi -

At this point, I'm out of ideas unfortunately. If you are compiling against the system toolchain and getting that error at runtime, there is something broken with your toolchain or distro. Do you actually need to build MongoDB from source? If not, I'd suggest simply installing our pre-packaged versions, which should not have this issue: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat/

Another possibility is building or installing a new compiler, but this comes with its own challenges.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,

At a guess I wonder if this is an ldconfig issue, perhaps associated with LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Having said that, I entirely agree with Andrew: don't bother compiling from source if your objective is to install MongoDB on a system. Just get the binaries and install those. Then go on your way and use MongoDB.

Getting a toolchain and build system to work well involves a great deal of effort. If your goal is to really use the database, the pre-built binaries represent a considerable time savings for the student.

Thanks so much

Bob
