./mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2:
cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

I presume this is more a documentation error, because saying 'Runs on debian 2.1
(or higher)' is too general. I have been looking on debian.org to find libraries
which look like the above, and even made two downloads, but apparently I got
them wrong. So, maybe you could mention in the release notes what kind and
versions of libraries these are, and where to find them.

This is not a build problem.  Mozilla currently requires libstdc++ to run.  If
the release documentation assumes that libstdc++ is installed by default on
certain distributions then it needs to be updated.

Summary: Unable to load shared object file → libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is wrong
Version: other → unspecified
arg. i got the info on this from debian people, but then i crashed w/o 
submitting. you can use apt to get what's required from something called 
'oldlibs'
On my debian system, typing
`ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2'
made mozilla 0.8 & nightly work just fine.  Debian Potato ships with
a libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.3 binary, which symlinks to the lib mentioned above.
It looks like the proper fix to this is to `apt-get install
libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1', but i'm quite happy with my symlink for the moment.
Could this get fixed soon?
Its rather irritating that you have to copy /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 to
the install dir as libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (or create a symlink, but you need
to be root to do that)
seems to be the same issue as in bug 78874
Is this still a problem? I haven't seen it in my 20 last installs...
Have installed and used Mozilla 1.0 RC1 on Debian testing. No problems any more
with this bug.
