Problem with libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Ever encountered the following unpleasant error message under Debian or Ubuntu?

 

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

Fret not, as the answer is dead simple! Log in to your server and issue the following command (as root / superuser):

 

wget http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb
dpkg -i libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb

 

Now the problem is gone for good 🙂
