I originally asked this question in the newbie section because I am definately a linux newbie, but I was told that it is more appropiate here.


I have been following several other 64 bit java related threads and learned that the only resource for a 64 bit firefox plugin is through blackdown java 1.4.2. I downloaded the .bin, but when I try to run it I get an error:

./j2sdk1.4.2/lib/unpack: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to unpack jar files lib/tools.jarlibstdc++.so.5

This is a fresh installation, and the file is present in /usr/lib. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

I realize this is probably a very simple problem, but I am also very new to linux. I am running FC4 on an AMD Athlon 64. Thank you for any help with this problem.

Have you installed libstdc++ ??

you can check
see if you see libstdc++

If not, you have to install it.

libstdc++.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.5 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

I find these libraries in the ldconfig list.
