I ran into the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04, but there isn't even an error message. With the 32 bit version of Seamonkey, when I try to execute it, there is no error message, it just doesn't run.

The file command reports that it is a 32 bit dynamically loaded executable.
The ldd command reports that it isn't dynamically loaded instead of the list of .so files it uses.

I suspect that there are a bunch of packages that install the 32 bit runtime, but I haven't dug around to figure out which packages. The CPU can handle either 32 or 64 on a 64 bit version of the OS trivially, but the .so files have to be installed. It seems Ubuntu isn't installing them by default.

At least there is a 64 bit version of Seamonkey available on the Seamonkey site. You don't need a .deb package.

Hello.

I have just downloaded and tried to install Seamonkey 2.33 on Ubuntu
Linux 12.04.

In following the instructions, I got the following response.

"
:/usr/local/seamonkey2/seamonkey# ./seamonkey
./seamonkey: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
"

Please advise.

Thank you in anticipation.


Hello.

I have since remembered, that, some time ago, I had been referred to,
and, had downloaded and installed, on another system, a Seamonkey 2.29
.deb package, created for Ubuntu, so, I found and installed that, and
it seems to work.

Thank you, anyway.
