MATLAB: How to find the current version of GLIBC on the Linux system

Question

I am encountering errors that look like the following:

libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt8messagesIcE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4

I think this might be related to the version of GLIBC on my machine. How can I tell what version I am running?

Answer 1

Errors like this typically occur if you are running an older version of GLIBC than is required by MATLAB. You can check the current version of GLIBC on your system with the following command:

ldd --version

Please compare this version against that posted on our system requirements page:
