Seamonkey won't start. [Solved]

#1 Post by Eldon »

Using Slacko 5.3.1

After closing Seamonkey earlier, I tried to open it again and it wouldn't.

Using the console it says:

/usr/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey.bin: usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.3.12' not found (required by /usr/lib/seamonkey/libxul.so)

I'm using dillo now, but it's terrible in comparison. I've downloaded seamonkey from their site, but I'm not sure if installing it will help, if it's a lib problem.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

sounds like something has taken out the required C++ lib version

usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 GLIBCXX_3.3.12

did you install or uninstall anything?

No, it's my impression that because I immediately tried to restart (before the libs were unloaded?) they got corrupted.

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 usually is part of gcc .

"3.3.12" sounds confusing.

According to http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/ 3.3.6 is the latest of the 3.3 series.
Could compile 3.3.6
which creates a
/root/Downloads/COMPILE/GCC/3.3.6/gcc-3.3.6-i686/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5
but not 3.3.3 .

gcc-3.4.5 uses libstdc++.so.6 .

What?

BTW, libstdc++.so.6 is there but it's as though the libGCXX_3.3.12 is part of it, and has been corrupted.

I have no idea what gcc has to do with libgcxx.

Additionally, trying to extract the libstdc++.so.6 out of lib-with-links fails- "wrapper exited with error" so I don't know what to do about that.

Of course Firefox, being closely related to Seamonkey, has the same error.

Eldon- is libstdc++.so.6 a symbolic link in /usr/lib?

How about libstdc++.so.6.0.13.. there in the same directory?

Does so.6 point to 14? Full or frugal install? ext2, 3 or other?

Frugal to FAT 8gb flash drive.

Then delete your libstdc++.so.6 link.

Now open a shell'n issue: ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.14 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Copy'n paste my line to avoid typos, then try again..

OMG it worked!! :shock:
THANK YOU!!!
You're my hero! Using links and dillo was getting tiresome real fast.

I couldn't even copy your solution, but I had no trouble typing it manually, and it works!!

Thanks, thanks thanks!

I was using Netsurf browser.

COULD NOT HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT.

I know HOW, I just wasn't able.

And I'm using a touchpad, so no middle mouse button.
