I need to have libstdc++ which contains GLIBCXX_3_4_9 library for 64 bit platform on redhat 5 system. This is required by an application. I tried to install following rpms from RHEL 6 repository but recevied several dependency failure error messages libstdc++-docs-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm libstdc++-devel-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64.rpm compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686.rpm # rpm -Uvh libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm libstdc++-devel-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686.rpm compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64.rpm            warning: libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID fd431d51        error: Failed dependencies:                glibc >= 2.10.90-7 is needed by libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64                rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64                rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64                rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by libstdc++-devel-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64                rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by libstdc++-devel-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64                libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.12) is needed by compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686                rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686                rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686                rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64                rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64                libstdc++ = 4.1.2-54.el5 is needed by (installed) gcc-c++-4.1.2-54.el5.x86_64                libstdc++ = 4.1.2 is needed by (installed) libstdc++44-devel-4.4.7-1.el5.x86_64                libstdc++ = 4.1.2 is needed by (installed) libstdc++44-devel-4.4.7-1.el5.i386                libstdc++-devel = 4.1.2-54.el5 is needed by (installed) gcc-c++-4.1.2-54.el5.x86_64Is there a way to get this libstdc++.so.6.0.9 or higher install on redheat 5 (64bit) system?Update:Here is the output of yum search   # yum search gcc-c++    Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager   This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management.

The following script did it all. It not only download and compile GCC4.4 package but also download and compile necessary dependencies. You may need to install #yum install zsh before run this script since this script is running under zsh shell.
