Install gcc 4.7 but cannot run program sucessfully - c++

Question

I need to use C++ 11, so I updated my GCC from 4.1 to 4.7. I compile the source code and make install it. gcc -version will show 4.7.0 (everything looks good). I compiled my program using:
g++ -O2 -std=c++11 -o wdSer wdSer.cpp
After that I run my program ./wdSer, there are some information as follows:
./wdSer: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./wdSer)
./wdSer: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.5' not found (required by ./wdSer)
./wdSer: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.10' not found (required by ./wdSer)
./wdSer: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by ./wdSer)
Who can tell me how to solve it?

Answer 1

First try this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./wdSer
/usr/local/lib64 is the default library directory for a 64bit build of gcc .
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to contain that directory tells the linker to look in that directory for library files.
If that does not work, look at the output of g++ -v
On my system, I get this:
$ g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=g++
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/gcc-4.8.2/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.2/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.8.2 --with-isl=/usr/local/isl-0.12.2 --with-cloog=/usr/local/cloog-0.18.1
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC)
In this output, you are looking for a directory following --prefix. Add /lib64 to the end of that prefix, and you'll have your library directory.
On my system, it's /usr/local/gcc-4.8.2 , so I need the linker to look in /usr/local/gcc-4.8.2/lib64 to find my libstdc++ .
So I run programs like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.8.2/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./a.out
If you don't want to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running your programs, you should build them with -Wl,-rpath= , like this:
$ g++ -std=c++11 -o wdSer -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib64/ wdSer.cc
You can use ldd on a program to see where the shared libraries it is linked to are found:
$ ldd a.out
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff8a506000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/gcc-4.8.2/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fa3c6aaf000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa3c6811000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/gcc-4.8.2/lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fa3c67fa000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa3c646f000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa3c6bbc000)
Here, a.out is a program I built with the option -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/gcc-4.8.2/lib64 , so the linker looks there first, and finds the libstdc++ that goes with my gcc 4.8.2 install.
Please see the documention for the -v flag: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.2/gcc/Overall-Options.html#Overall-Options (and search for -v )
the -Wl flag : http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.2/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options (and scroll down to the bottom)
and the -rpath flag: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.24/ld/Options.html#Options (and search for -rpath)
