Get a version of the JRE that was compiled with the same version of
g++ as mozilla was compiled with. The C++ ABI transition made
binaries incompatible unless the same compiler (thus the same ABI) is
used.
Here's some pointers:
- recent moz. is compiled with gcc/g++ 3.x
- your jre package was probably compiled with g++ 2.95
- a jre compiled with 3.x can be found at :
