installing teradata bteq rpm on fedora 21 - missing pkg libstdc++.so.6

Question

I'm trying to install Teradata's bteq rpm on Fedora 12. I'm getting a failed dependency message here:

[foobar@localhost bteq]$ sudo rpm -Uhv bteq-14.00.00.18-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
    libstdc++.so.6 is needed by bteq-14.00.00.18-1.i386

  Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.

I can't seem to find this package. Is it because I'm using yum?

The library is certainly there, but you need the 32-bit version of it to install a 32-bit RPM that depends on it. This is failing due to a packaging error on the part of whoever packaged the RPM.

Try installing it yourself:

yum install libstdc++.i686

Since that is the correct library, if it still complains, then you should have a chat with the packager.
