I tried to install RealPlayer 10 Gold on Ubuntu 5.10 OS. I used the starter's guide for help. After downloading the file and making it executable, i gave the following command:
sudo ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
it showed the error message
./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i searched google for help and i followed this link
http://www.joewein.de/sw/swnotes002.htm
i entered the following command
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
it gave the error message
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5' to `/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5': Permission denied
what is the problem? how do i solve it?
P.S. i searched the location given in the command but did not find the file in question.
please help
