    I am trying to install Google Chrome 35 on my CentOS 6.5 . After googleing for few hours I found that Google has decided not to support EL 6 release anymore. Due to which I get following error.

    Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-35.0.1916.153-1.x86_64 (google-chrome) Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)(64bit)

    As default libstdc++.so.6.0.13 comes with OS and the latest being gcc 4.9 and libstdc++.so.6.0.20. I downloaded latest gcc source to build. It was built successfully and I tested the out put. but

    gcc --version

    returns 4.4.7. I checked my install directory which i set while doing configure was /usr/bin/gcc49/bin/gcc . when I ran same command here it was showing 4.9. I suppose this means that libstdc++ latest version is also complied and built as part of the process.

    My problem now is after getting latest build of gcc google chrome still points to old version. is there a simple way to point rpm dependency checker to point to specific directory to install.

    Thanks

    Did you try this? http://www.tecmint.com/install-google-chrome-on-redhat-centos-fedora-linux/

    This worked for me. This links shows how to fix the problem installing Chrome in CentOS. You just need to download a script written by someone which will install all dependencies with chrome on CentOS.

    Cheers

    Google released their Chrome browser for linux but I got an error when installing. I was informed that I need a higher lsb version? What is lsb? Where can I find the latest lsb package/source ?

    By the way, would it be OK if I upgrade to CentOS 5.4?
