  5. I’m getting this error during the installation:

    Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-28.0.1500.71-209842.i386 (google-chrome)
    Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)
    You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

    Is anyone else getting this?

    I’m getting same error as specified above, Can anyone tell where I go wrong..??

  7. Chrome 28 or later no longer works out of the box on CentOS 6.4 because of the libstdc++.so.6 issue mentioned above. I have provided a script at http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ which can be run to get Chrome 28 or later working on CentOS 6.4 (please upgrade to at least 6.4 before running Chrome 28).
