I was trying to execute a .cfm page on a new CentOS 5.2 server and I received this error. Not all requests were erroring out, the CF Administrator was working fine as were other simple pages. But when I tried to load a page that instantiated some java objects, I got this error.
"coldfusion.jsp.CompilationFailedException: Errors reported by Java compiler: jikes: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I checked to make sure libstdc++ was installed, and it was, although not version 5. I checked another one of our Linux CF8 servers, it didn’t have version 5 installed either, so I didn’t think that was the problem. I noticed the other server had some compat libs installed that I was missing though. I ran this command: yum install compat-libstdc\* which installed two RPMs: compat-libstdc++-296 and compat-libstdc++-33. Then I restarted ColdFusion, and was able to execute the page with no errors.
