The location of your libraries are either not registered (man ldconfig)
or you are using an older version of the c libs, and thus it can't find them.

Mine are registered and I just used RH7.3 up2date to download the latest versions of them, and it still says that. Any idea?

Look in /usr/lib for

libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

If it doesn't exist then you need to create a synlink to the real libsdtc++

e.g. on my system my real libstdc++ is:

libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so

So I symlink it as follows:

ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

If libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 does exist make sure the symlink is not 'stale' (i.e. pointing to a lib that no longer exists) - if so, delete it and re-create the symlink as per above.

That should sort out your problem.

I have talked to my friend the 'linux God' and he suggested this.

<!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> "Please statically link the C++ library into ns_i386.so"

is there any other ways that we can fix this problem the one above didnt work...

I was getting the same error.

The following worked for me.

tried that, but now the server locks on starting, why cant the c++ lib be statically linked?

its not that im using an old version, its that the ns team is..

come on! i have a server ready to go up but cant, it can run everything else, but the ns team decided to be different

Moonscope

Does 1.02 fix this, if not

PLEASE FIX IT ASAP, cause it is ghey that i cant run a server...

I agree, this is causing headaches for the linux guys.. it should be simple. Server admins might be more technically inclined but that doesn't mean they enjoy waisting time on something that could be easier
