./mohaa_lnx: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Can anyone tell what this means and what I need to do to fix it.

 

[gwarbot]

NM I fixed it.

you could also use:

tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2

 

[gwarbot]

what the difference between jxvf and xvf?

It's simple.

Read the man files.
type;
man tar

then you can hit the / button to perform a search thru the man file.

so you go
/-j

and then press enter and it will explain it to you.

you can see what the other letter do too, the x and the v and the f...

Just remember that -x is not the same as -X and the / search won't go back up to the top to look for more matches, you have to scroll back to the top. Also some commands will change what the letters mean based on what your using the command for.

I think that's a GNUism, and unstandard.

bunzip2 file.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf - should work fine though. I think.

bunzip2 extracts to stdout? Don't you mean bzcat?

Works with gunzip, I figured bunzip2 would work too. I haven't been forced to use that bz2 stuff for a while now.

I usually just tar -xvjf them. It's tar -xvzf for .tar.gz files.
