2.1. Typical errors
3. Running PDNS on unix

You will typically install PDNS > 2.9 via source or via a package. Earlier versions used a clumsy binary installer.

1. Possible problems at this point

At this point some things may have gone wrong. Typical errors include:

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.x: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Errors looking like this indicate a mismatch between your PDNS distribution and your Unix operating system. Download the static PDNS distribution for your operating system and try again. Please contact if this is impractical.
