Node Module argon2 "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found"

Question

I wrote an app with node.js, which uses the argon2 module for hashing passwords.

Running on my local (Windows) machine, everything was fine.

When I installed the app on my Linux server, I had errors installing the modules. However, once I updated the server to Node.js v12.18.3, reinstalling the modules completed successfully.

Unfortunately, when I attempted to actually run the app, I got the following error:

>$ node app.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1187
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Any ideas how to fix this?

I tried running:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

as suggested here, but it did not help.

Answer 1

I had the same problem with argon2 on CentOS 7.

Solved this like that:

yum install gmp-devel mpfr-devel libmpc-devel wget
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-8.3.0/gcc-8.3.0.tar.gz
mkdir gcc-8.3.0-build
tar xf gcc-8.3.0.tar.gz
cd gcc-8.3.0-build
../gcc-8.3.0/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib
make && make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

As proposed here

To note, in my case, "make" and "make install" commands took about 2 hours to complete. And I needed them to run as a root. I think, you should export LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as shown in last step, each time you open terminal to run your node js app.
