Cannot start rr on an updated Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by rr)

Fix the wrong version mentioned on the title ... >_<

So people in the office said I should compile my own rr from source, rather than downloading the release deb package.

We probably need a warning on the website on that, if the built package wasn't meant for 14.04.

[rocallahan]

The package should work on 14.04. Maybe I messed something up...

I had the same issue when installing 4.2.0 package on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. 4.0.3 package doesn't have this issue.

I also see this, does rr actually need that ABI version or is this just because of the system that compiled the package? In the later case /usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 needs to be integrated in the package (because that will include it, while /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 doesn't).

... maybe LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/lib64 rr already does the trick and there's no need to package anything more (that was the case for CentOS7)?

[GitMensch]

That is still the case for me, also when build from (current) source.
