[SLUG] Upgrading Firefox on Debian Woody

2005-06-01 Thread Terry Collins 

Has anyone been able to do this?

I am attempting to upgrade Firefox (V0.7) on Debian Woody, but it seems 
to be at am impass.


Have downloads the 1.0.4 upgrade and attempted to install it.
First problem is that it requires libstdc++.so.5. and Woody only has up 
to V3.


Does anyone know of a way around this?


This all started when I went looking for a plug-in to display gifs 
(mutter mutter, tax stuff using whereis for distances)

Missing libraries sometimes happen with Gentoo too... I often symlink my 
latest version to whatever is required. Most of the time it seems to work 
fine (given there are no drastic used API changes between the two library 
versions).

Try using backports -- they at least have 1.0 available. (presumably 
this is patched for security, but ...)
