EPICS base contains C++ code and uses the C++ standard library.
To run binaries that contain C++ code, the machine running the binary
must at least have the C++ runtime libraries installed. Which libraries
are needed depends on the operating system. Even different flavours of
Linux may have different names or places for libraries.
You should run your package manager (or whatever your Linux was
installed from) and try to select and install the C++ runtime and
standard libraries. If you want to compile code for EPICS on the Linux
platform, you will need the complete gnu C++ compiler on your machine.
In your case the EPICS installation was probably created on a machine
that had everything installed, but you're trying to run it on a machine
that misses the runtime libraries (in your case libstdc++.so.5).
Hope this helps...
Good luck!

Hi:
I am relatively new to linux and Epics. I am trying to
run the example program from the ApplDevGuide. When I
try to run the make file, I get the following error
messages.
Should I install C++ compiler?
Thanks
