It failed, complaining that libstdc++.so.5 is not available. After a quick search, I confirmed that libstdc++.so.5 is indeed not anywhere on the machine, but libstdc++.so.6 is there. As I understand it (and I'll admit I don't understand it well), libstdc++.so.5 is considered legacy. Should this dependency be updated, or is there some way to make the dependency version agnostic?
