[SOLVED] Where can I find GLIBCXX_3.4.29?

Issue

I updated my GCC compiler from the GIT repo to version 11. Now my test code (GoogleTest/GoogleMock) is complaining about GLIBCXX_3.4.29 not being found. This is not a duplicate please reopen The answers posted in: Understanding the gcc version and the GLIBC, GLIBCXX versions in more detail (2 answers) doesn't answer the question.

Linker error is:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.29 not found

The output of strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

Where can I find 3.4.29?

Solution

After building GCC and installing the binaries, the softlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 wasn't updated to the latest version. Mine was still pointing to a previous version as mentioned in the comments above. Under GCC build directory I found the GLIBCXX_3.4.29 build directory and copied the library to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and updated the softlink.
