To resolve


Skedler has dependencies on libstdc++ library. Following are the GLIBCXX versions the code depend on


    libstdc++.so.6 on(GLIBCXX_3.4.9) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
    libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.15) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
    libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6


To check the versions on your server. Please run the command

  • For CentOS/RedHat

strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

  • For Debian/Ubuntu

strings  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

If the version is not available, you need to update your GCC compiler.


Linux Operating system supported by Skedler are as follows,

  • Ubuntu from 12.04 and above
  • Debian from 7 and above
  • CentOS from 7 and above
