chromium-dev installation of alien-bob failing on slackware-current with error

hi...

i downloaded the chromium-dev txz file for installation from alien bob current repository...

the package installs on my machine and can also see the same from /var/log/packages....

the issue is when i open chromium-dev from my cli, i get the below following error:

Code:

/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6:'GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found

and chromium-dev fails to start....

wanted to add when i check the /usr/lib64 i see the file mentioned above exists....

there was a similar thread here, and the solution was to update gcc but when i do a slackpkg update gcc i get the package missing error....

any idea for this?and what this specific error denotes?

Works fine here.
How "current" is your Slackware64-current? The GLIBCXX_3.4.20 is contained in the libstdc++.so.6 library version of gcc (gcc-g++-4.9.2-x86_64-3) which is part of Slackware64-current. It is also present in the multilib version of the gcc package (gcc-g++-4.9.2_multilib-x86_64-3alien).

What gives:

Code:

ls -la /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6*

ls -la /var/log/packages/gcc*

ls -la /var/log/packages/glibc*

Yeah that is old. You have not been updating your -current install. Hence it is not really "current" any more.

Those are the glibc and gcc of Slackware 14.1 ... not slackware -current.

thanks for the info....

when i do a slackpkg update i get checksum.md5 error specifically

ERROR:Verification of the gpg signature on CHECKSUMS.MD5 failed! This could mean that the file has been tampered with or out of date.

I cannot perform a slackpkg update either...

Code:

slackpkg update gpg

though works fine grabbing the key from the slackware-current mirror

i had done a full system upgrade recently say a week back and my kernel had got updated too....from 3.10.7 or say to 3.18.11 specifically....
had blacklisted alien packages and slackbuilds but forgot to blacklist my kernel....
as a result my kernel had got upgraded.....
...should i post a new thread on this new issue?

Yes please, because your new question has nothing to do with the original topic.

thanks for the same...
here is the link if anyone would like to check it too

finally, i was about to move to slackware 14.1 when i gave one last try with slackpkg update....
not only did i get my old customized system back but also chromium-dev from alien bob current is working fine...
sorry for the alarm mate...

CHROMIUM-DEV works just perfect....and i am posting this from chromium dev version current...

i ran the commands again just to confirm...below are the results

You appear to be at a slackware64-current level but be aware that at first, you had my multilib versions of gcc and glibc installed. Your most recent post shows that you now have the Slackware original packages installed for gcc and glibc which means your computer lost its ability to run (and compile) 32-bit programs.
Perhaps that was your intention. If you do not run any 32-bit software (Skype, Steam Client, Wine) then the situation is OK. Otherwise, check out what you need to do in order to get back that multilib capability: http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib

thanks a lot bob...was going to search for that as i noticed myskype didnt start up....will do that and revert back...

and i really feel i should edit the title of this post because it doesnt look good reading on a work well done from your end....
