Q: When running COIN/GLPK from the Linux build, I had the following error:

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

You can fix this by installing some compatibility libraries for C++ (compat-libstdc++-296)

Note that these are distinct from compat-libstdc++-33 which might already be installed on your system.

If you get an error like this you are probably running a GAMS build that is targeted for an older Linux OS than the one you have installed. Try running something newer like the LX3 build for Linux 32-bit or the LEI build for Linux 64-bit. You can also try installing the compatibility libraries mentioned above.
