You can use the following commands to view the versions of libraries installed on a Linux system:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dynamic Linker Loader<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    ldd \/path\/to\/executable\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. dpkg is a package management system for Debian-based operating systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      dpkg -l | grep <library-name>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. revolutions per minute<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        rpm -qa | grep <library-name>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. For certain libraries, you can directly view the version information in the library files themselves. For example, for the libc library files, you can use the following command to check the version:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          strings \/lib\/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          Please note that the  in the command above needs to be replaced with the name of the specific library you are trying to find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
