[Nix-dev] "/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found" trying to install on RHEL 6.5

[Kirill Elagin]

This basically means that Nix expects a different version of libstdc++. You
can use `objdump` or `readelf` on your library to find out which version
you have.

Your options are upgrading (or downgrading which is less likely) gcc (which
provides this library) or building Nix yourself using gcc that you have, so
that it gets linked against the version you have.
Also, if Nix is available in the form of rpm in Red Hat's repository it
would be better to install it from there as rpm will take care of all the
dependencies.
