libstdc++ library not loaded on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2)

2

I recently updated my Mac, running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2) with some EFI Firmware Updates. Since then, certain applications (Pages, Keynote, and Google Chrome for me) don't load. The error Apple is giving me is that the libstdc++ library isn't being loaded.

I was also recently attempting to install GCC on my system (because apparently it wasn't already installed even though I have Xcode). It may be that the EFI Firmware update is just a coincident, since I was working on GCC at around the same time.

Also, I don't have Time Machine set up, so I can't restore from a pervious version.

Here are the details I get from the OS about the issue:

What exact Mac do you have? – fideli – 2011-11-07T16:04:18.343

I solved the problem by reinstalling the OS.

To reinstall the OS, restart the computer. As it's turning on hold Command-R. When a window asking what language you want comes up, let go. Select your language. Click "Reinstall Mac OS X Lion". Click Continue. Make sure your connected to the internet. It will begin downloading the OS, and it may take several hours for this to finish.

When it turns on again, everything should be working fine, and all of your files will stay pretty much unharmed and unchanged (except if you made some changes to the OS).

Another recommendation I have (which I am now doing) is constant Time Machine backups, especially if changing something that may affect the OS.

The reason is that you installed gcc in /usr. I had the same problem.

You installed gcc in /usr, which clobbered system libraries like /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (like @chao chao said).

Reinstalling the entire OS is the nuclear option.
