If it's _exactly_ the same try renaming the libstdc++ in /usr/ for a moment and running: sudo mv /usr/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/libstdc++.so.6.bak It might be a symlink, so not sure if it'll work. To get it back to previous state: sudo mv /usr/libstdc++.so.6.bak /usr/libstdc++.so.6 EDIT: alternatively, not to mess with your libs, after extracting libstdc++.so.6 in /opt/zod you can try: cd /opt/zod export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./zod ...
