181991 - Mozilla installer reports: "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59012

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Thomas Duebendorfer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

When running ./mozilla-installer (from mozilla-1.2b distribution) with my 
Debian Linux (2.4.18-bf2.4), the mozilla-installer-bin complains about not 
finding the libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 shared library.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.2b-sea.tar.gz
2. extract files with tar xfvz
3. run installer with ./mozilla-installer
Actual Results:  
#> ./mozilla-installer
./mozilla-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The installer exits.

Expected Results:  
I found a workaround:
As root execute:
  ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
and then the mozilla installer works just fine.

dupe of "Redhat 7 users must install compat-libstdc++6.2-2.9.0.9"

(the workaround you mention seems scary.  there is a debian package that
provides the proper library)

The debian package libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1_2.91.66-4.deb
contains the required shared library libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
