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

At this point some things may have gone wrong. Typical errors include:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><span class="errortype">error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.x: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</span></span></dt><dd><p>
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 <code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:pdns@powerdns.com">pdns@powerdns.com</a>></code> if this is impractical.
