i am running Firefox1.0.2 that came with my distro of Mandriva 10.1, but i want to upgrade FF to 1.0.6. i have gone to mozilla.org, downloaded the tar.gz file for FF1.0.6, and untarred it just fine. however, when i give the command "[...firefox-installer]$ ./firefox-installer" i get this error
./firefox-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No suchfile or directory
what can i do to install FF1.0.6?
where can i get/open this ibstdc++.so.5 file that i cant open?
i got ff 1.0.6 from the package manager does that not upgrade it on 10.1 or even from the updates it should update ff to latest version. ignore the package manager it was updates i got it in.
Or go to konsole, su, and
urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/10.2/RPMS with hdlist.cz
urpmi.update
urpmi mozilla-firefox
(Thac has the 1.0.6 version.)
you should be able to use rpmdrake to install that package (the C++, not the firefox). once that's done, you can install firefox 1.0.6 the way you first tried. keep in mind it will install it whereever you untarred it.
