Unable to run NW.JS in Ubuntu 12.10

Hey guys,

Today I’ve installed a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 (32bits) in a machine of mine and downloaded the last version of NW.JS (node-webkit-v0.11.6-linux-ia32).

Unfortunately I was unable to run nw due the following errros:

./nw: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.18' not found (required by ./nw)
./nw: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.14.3' not found (required by ./nw)

I’ve checked the libraries versions my system has installed:

$ strings /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6  | grep GLIBCXX
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_3.4.17
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

$ strings /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss3.so| grep NSS_3
NSS_3.2
NSS_3.2.1
NSS_3.3
NSS_3.3.1
NSS_3.4
NSS_3.5
NSS_3.6
NSS_3.7
NSS_3.7.1
NSS_3.8
NSS_3.9
NSS_3.9.2
NSS_3.9.3
NSS_3.10
NSS_3.10.2
NSS_3.11
NSS_3.11.1
NSS_3.11.2
NSS_3.11.7
NSS_3.11.9
NSS_3.12
NSS_3.12.1
NSS_3.12.3
NSS_3.12.4
NSS_3.12.5
NSS_3.12.6
NSS_3.12.7
NSS_3.12.9
NSS_3.12.10
NSS_3.13

Do I have to recompile the NW.js in order to be able to use it on my system? Do you have any suggestion to fix the problem and allow the 0.11.6 binaries be able to run?

Thanks in advance!

For those googling: you can resolve the error:

./nw: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Which occurred with nwjs v0.26.0 on a Debian 8.9 VM w/ LXDE.

Run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libnss3-dev

and try again.

because current gcc version is too low fixed solution ： #apt-get install gcc-5
