Hi,
I have downloaded seamonkey-1.1.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz from the internet and extracted it on my desktop.
When I try run installing it, the following error message pops up.

CODE

[root@localhost seamonkey-installer]# ls
config.ini MPL-1.1.txt seamonkey-installer* xpi/
installer.ini README seamonkey-installer-bin*
[root@localhost seamonkey-installer]# ./seamonkey-installer
./seamonkey-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@localhost seamonkey-installer]#

Request you to help me with its installation. Thank you.

You can install Seamonkey via the Mandriva Control Center. Though to be honest i don't think it is worth the bother. Firefox and Thunderbird are better options.

libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You need to install the package which contains this file. You can search for filenames in rpmdrake. In this case the package is libstdc++5-3.3.6-3mdk. If you can't find it then visit easy-urpmi first (see top of this page) and add some repos first (main, contrib, update repos and plf repos).

I have the exact same problem as Rama, but am still stuck.

Missing libstdc++.so.5 and it isnot in rpmdrake. I went to easy-urpmi,

http://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php

to increase the repository.

The problem is I'm using 2008.1 RC2 which is not in easy-urpmi menu. Now what?

Until 2008.1 (2008 Spring) Becomes official it is classified as "cooker"

I'll answer my own question. Go to

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.p...stdc%2B%2B.so.5

and download

libstdc++5-3.3.6-3mdk.i586.rpm (Mandriva 2007)

Then as root do

rpm -i libstdc++5-3.3.6-3mdk.i586.rpm

libstdc++.so.5 is now in /usr/lib .
