version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found in ubuntu 16.04

In Lattice Diamond I receive the following message in the terminal:

/usr/local/diamond/3.10_x64/bin/lin64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1)
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libmozgtk.so:

Couldn't load XPCOM.

in order to open a html file from the "help" menu.

my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty, and the missing library is installed on my system:

strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

so I added it to my library path and restarted the application. It did not help:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

    Looks like the libstdc++ provided with the application is too old for some other, non-provided libraries. You can replace it with a symbolic link to the system’s libstdc++ (while backing up the original file):

    sudo ln --backup=simple --suffix=.orig -sft /usr/local/diamond/3.10_x64/bin/lin64 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
