So I installed the new updates and alienbob's newly updated multilib packages, and now when trying to run firefox, it errors out. Terminal output is
Code:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib64/firefox-10.0/libxpcom.so:
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so)
Couldn't load XPCOM.
All I could find concerning the error is that glibcxx 3.4.15 is part of gcc 4.6.x. Runnning gcc -v confirms that I do in fact have gcc 4.6.2 installed, and I just reinstalled gcc-4.6.2_multilib-x86_64-1alien.txz from alienbob's page (after having already upgraded all my multilib packages once).
Another page I found suggested running
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH;
, but this had no effect. I also tried rebooting after the installations.
So I'm at a loss right now. Any help would be appreciated.
The error says that you did *not* install all Alien Bob's updates.
In particular, you're confusing gcc and glibc. The package you need to make the error go away is glibc-2.14.1_multilib-x86_64-3alien *not* gcc-4.6.2_multilib-x86_64-1alien, but really you should have both. In fact you should upgrade all the available upgrades:
I had the exactly problem because I actually forgot to upgrade with Alien's multilib packages. When I did upgrade the multilib packages the problem was solved.
I did a ls -al libstdc++.* in /usr/lib64 and this is the output:

bash-4.1$ ls -al libstdc++.*

My libstdc++.so.6 symlink to libstdc++.so.6.0.16, do yours show the same?

All of these were installed. I'm looking at my local directory with all of the multilib packages that I installed and glibc 2.14.1 is there. I'm not sure how to actually display the installed packages or I would post the output there.

Its linking to *.14 rather than 16, apparently. Going off the assumption that I did upgrade my multilib correctly, how do I correct the link?
That grep command shows .14 as the highest. So I listed the contents of my multilib directory, then tried to upgrade all glibc packages again. It skipped all of them. then I ran
