I'm also seeing this, same specs as above but I'm using Mint 18.

[lembeh2004]

Have exactly the same issue (RedHat 7.7, Atom 1.41.0)

[hulalalb]

Same problem on CentOS 7.7 for Atom 1.41.0 x64

[alexisfrjp]

Same, needed to disable the package.

[ravijo]

Same problem in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS too. I have disabled the package as a temporary workaround.

[VictorSago]

Same issue in Atom 1.42.0 x64 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with KDE desktop. Disabling Ruby packages fixes it.

[ZUUL42]

Problem persists into 1.43.0 x64.
On RHEL 7.7

[thewpaney]

Seen consistently on CentOS 7.7 on Atom 1.43.0 x64.

[shovas]

+1 CentOS 7 latest on Atom 1.43.0 x64.

[yilerat19]

Same here. CentOS 7 for Atom 1.43.0 x64

[Pardoxa]

Same here
Atom 1.44.0 x64
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 7.7 (Maipo)

[snlawrence]

Same here.
Atom 1.43.0
OS: CentOS 7.7

Edit: Just upgraded to Atom 1.44.0 and the error is persisting

[snlawrence]

I was able to work around this issue by installing gcc-5.4.0, and then exporting the path to the gcc-5.4.0/lib64 to LD_PATH_LIBRARY
This is the script I used: https://gist.github.com/snlawrence/f199fe9434f6ddea715f0cd798f4b530

This did not work for me.
Atom 1.45.0
OS: CentOS 7.7

I got this error:

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

[NAGESHHIRMUKHE]

Same error in atom-1.45.0-0.1.x86_64

[kabartay]

Same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

snlawrence's solution worked for me with Atom 1.47 and CentOS 7.8
I had to first do a yum install gcc-c++ (I think this is what jeprince missed) and then compile gcc similar to his script. I installed it to /opt/gcc54/ as a test.

You can then do either:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc54/lib64/ && atom
or
export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/gcc54/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 && atom

Good point! I've added gcc-c++ to the dependencies in my script.

I got tired of waiting for the developers to fix this bug. And having to figure out the solution everytime I install atom on a RHEL/CentOS 7 system. So I finally wrote an install script that does it all for me. It's based on what others have posted, but this version will also install atom, and then go onto build gcc 5.4.0 and install it into the /opt/gcc-5.4.0/ directory. Having it in /usr/local/ means it could end up in your default search paths, and cause breakage. The script also modifies the /usr/bin/atom launcher, so it becomes the only app to make use of the freshly built libraries.

#/bin/bash -x

echo "Downloading the atom rpm file..."
curl --location --output atom.x86_64.rpm https://atom.io/download/rpm

echo "Installing the atom rpm file..."
sudo yum -y install atom.x86_64.rpm

echo "Downloading gcc source files..."
curl --location --output gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-5.4.0/gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2

echo "Extracting files..."
tar xvfj gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2

echo "Installing dependencies..."
sudo yum -y install gmp-devel mpfr-devel libmpc-devel gcc-c++

echo "Configure and install..."
cd gcc-5.4.0 && ./configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --prefix=/opt/gcc-5.4.0 && make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install

echo "Adding the library path to the atom launcher..."
sudo sed -i "11i\ \\nexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc-5.4.0/lib64/:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH\\n" /usr/bin/atom

echo "Cleaning up the build directory..."
cd ../ && rm -rf atom.x86_64.rpm gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2 gcc-5.4.0

echo "Install complete."

[alexisfrjp]

I don't know if you could launch the 1.52.0 Atom version in Centos 7.8. It doesn't launch anymore after the update.

Why do you need to build gcc?! Can't we just use the devtoolset-7 package that provides gcc 7.3?
