      We provide two copies of “libstdc++.so.5” for Ansys100: /ansys_inc/v100/ansys/syslib/linia32/libstdc++.so.5 /ansys_inc/v100/ansys/syslib/linem64t/libstdc++.so.5 The copy in “linia32” is a 32-bit version needed for Workbench and the other is the 64-bit version for Ansys. Make sure the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is NOT set prior to trying to run Ansys. Also try renaming the /syslib/linia32/ version just in case Ansys is trying to use the 32-bit version. Also the system has it’s own 32-bit and 64-bit copies of the libstdc++.so.5 in: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5
