The problem is that it is a more advanced version (.so.6) than RealPlayer (and firefox) is willing to accept (.so.5).
For jollies, I tried symlinking the .6 version as the .5 version and attempted to start firefox and got the following messages:d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib$ firefox /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin) /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin) /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/libxpcom_core.so) /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/libxpcom_core.so) /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/libxpcom_compat.so) I have the feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg.... -- libstdc++ not being installed with Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
