More details from the GCC <a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#rpath" target="_top">FAQ</a>, which states <span class="emphasis"><em>GCC does not, by default, specify a location so that the dynamic linker can find dynamic libraries at runtime.</em></span> </p><p> Users will have to provide this information. </p><p> Methods vary for different platforms and different styles, and are printed to the screen during installation. To summarize: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p> At runtime set <code class="literal">LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> in your environment correctly, so that the shared library for libstdc++ can be found and loaded. Be certain that you understand all of the other implications and behavior of <code class="literal">LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> first. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Compile the path to find the library at runtime into the program. This can be done by passing certain options to <span class="command"><strong>g++</strong></span>, which will in turn pass them on to the linker. The exact format of the options is dependent on which linker you use: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle"><li class="listitem"><p> GNU ld (default on Linux):<code class="literal">-Wl,--rpath,<code class="filename">destdir</code>/lib</code> </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> IRIX ld:<code class="literal"> -Wl,-rpath,<code class="filename">destdir</code>/lib</code> </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Solaris ld:<code class="literal">-Wl,-R<code class="filename">destdir</code>/lib</code> </p></li></ul></div></li></ul></div><p> Use the <span class="command"><strong>ldd</strong></span> utility on the linked executable to show which <code class="filename">libstdc++.so</code> library the system will get at runtime. </p><p> A <code class="filename">libstdc++.la</code> file is also installed, for use with Libtool.
