I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 and now my db2 is not starting anymore. The error message reads as follows:

db2start: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I guess, this is, because Ubuntu now uses version 6 as I can see in Synaptic. Is there a way, to tell DB2 to use the newer Version or do I have to Install the 5er Version? Will this somehow conflict with the 6er?

Found some threads about the same problem with other programs. The solution is to install the 5er version. It can be downloaded from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libstdc++5/download.
