1. Gentoo Specific Libero Fixes
When attempting to run
`/opt/microchip/Libero_SoC_v2024.1/Libero/bin64/libero`, you will
most likely be met with the following error:
``` example
Warning: You are running a version of Suse Linux that is not supported.
Please refer to Libero SoC Release Note for the detail of supported operating systems.
/opt/microchip/Libero_SoC_v2024.1/Libero/bin64/libero_bin: /opt/microchip/Libero_SoC_v2024.1/Libero/lib64/rhel/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.74)
```
The way I chose to combat this was to delete all of the
`libstdc++.so.6` files that came with the tools and then supplying
the system's provides files via $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I've also chosen
to do this with git commits so you don't have to start all over if
you mess up. The git parts are optional but recommended. (Thanks to
sam for helping me figure this out)
``` bash
cd /opt/microchip/Libero_SoC_*.*
git init
git add .
git commit -m "init"
find . -name "libstdc++.so.6" -type f -or -type l -delete
git add .
git commit -m "removed tool specific libstdc++.so.6 files"
# test it to make sure it launches
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13" ./Libero/bin64/libero
```
This should launch and then give you an error saying license not
found. This is normal and will be fixed later in the guide.

The way I chose to combat this was to delete all of the =libstdc++.so.6= files that came with the tools and then supplying the system's provides files via $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I've also chosen to do this with git commits so you don't have to start all over if you mess up. The git parts are optional but recommended. (Thanks to sam for helping me figure this out)
