Description

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070131 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.bz2 (dated 1-Feb-2007)

Trying to install from seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.bz2 dated 1-Feb-2007:
seamonkey-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OK, let's try the non-installer .tar.bz2. bunzip2 works. tar -x works. Let's try to run seamonkey:
/usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just try to install and/or run SeaMonkey trunk nightly dated 1-Feb-2007

Actual Results:  
libstdc++.so.6 not found, see above

Expected Results:  
Installer and browser should start and run.

Using Novell-SUSE Linux Professional 9.3

P.S. Bug doesn't apply to 2007-01-31 build.

Comment 2

This sounds to me as if you are using a too old Linux version for the new builds generated by our new tinderbox.

SuSE 9.3 seems to be a distribution that was released in April 2005, its successor, SUSE 10.0 followed in October - and should still be supported by those new builds.

Comment 3

[Andrew Schultz]

Tony, what versions of gtk2 and pango do you have?

Comment 4

[Benjamin Smedberg]

gtk2 and pango don't really matter. We're using libstdc++.so.6, which doesn't come by default with that distro (and probably isn't available at all).

The list of targeted versions for 1.9 (current trunk) can be found here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Linux_Compatibility_Reference

"rpm -qa" gives (among others) the following lines:

gtk2-2.6.4-6.7
gtk2-devel-2.6.4-6.7
gtk2-doc-2.6.4-6

pango-1.8.1-4
pango-devel-1.8.1-4

I'll try to find a SuSE release 10 but I didn't see it a few days ago where I bought this 9.3. (They do stock M$W, but I'm not gonna buy /that/ crap at 99€ or more apiece -- let's say between 120 and 130 USD.)

<shrug /> Of course, I can't reverse a policy decision but it sounds somewhat harsh to me (SuSE 9.3 is still supported with security updates etc.). Sounds to me as if you stopped supporting XP on the grounds that Vista has just come out. (Yes, I know W98 isn't supported anymore by new builds, but how old is it? More than 9 months, I bet.)

Well, I guess my choices are to upgrade SuSE (if and when I find a merchant who stocks it) or downgrade SeaMonkey (to 20070131 trunk or to 1.1 or earlier).

Or to build it yourself... it should still build on your system: it's just that mozilla.org binaries aren't going to work.

If you _bought_ SuSE 9.3 _now_, then someone probably laughs loudly about the money you threw out the window over to him, as 9.3 is really an oldtimer nowadays.

The current version is openSUSE 10.2 (despite the name change, this is the same thing, only newer versions). It's been in stores here (Austria/Europe) since shortly before Christmas of 2006, and it's been available for free download from opensuse.org even one or two weeks longer than that.

I'm building Vim on my system, but SeaMonkey is orders of magnitude above that; and I expect the build to take hours rather than minutes (especially the first build, which will necessarily be a "clobber" build) -- IF I get it done at all. Well, I may at least try.

No, I bought 9.3 months ago, but I went to that same shop days ago and didn't find SuSE 10. Didn't find ANY Linux in fact: seems they've gone Windows-only.

Download? That's good news: if I can get that to work, then no need to find a store which stocks it.
