[Solved] Unable to launch node when installed with Brew

I had a weird issue today when trying to run node - I received this error:

$ node -v

node: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I attempted to brew reinstall node and brew remove node; brew install node, neither of which helped.

I am on Aurora 40.20241019.0 (2024-10-20T04:43:42Z), and have been running Node without issues since April.

What solved it was running:

brew install gcc

I don’t know why Brew couldn’t handle this dependency itself. (I created this thread to help anyone searching this who might have the same issue.)
