I want to launch VBox4 on redhat 6, however I get this error :

version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6)

I verified that GLIBC_2.14 is installed on my system.

I don't know what's the problem.

Someone (possibly you) has replaced the file /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 with a corrupted version that is incompatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. You can restore the official version if you run this command as root:

# yum reinstall /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

You need to install a version of “VBox 4” which has been ported to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, otherwise it will not work. In general, it is not possible to take some program that has been built on a current GNU/Linux distribution and run it on a much older distribution.
