flash plugin will not load

blackphiber · 12-01-2003, 07:25 PM

alright, I hope that someone can help me. When I start Firebird I get the following:
[thomas@x1-6-00-20-e0-6c-19-4d MozillaFirebird]$ ./MozillaFirebird
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/thomas/Documents/programs/firebird/MozillaFirebird/plugins/libflashplayer.so [libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

/home/thomas/Documents/programs/firebird/MozillaFirebird/plugins/libflashplayer.so does exist. I looked on google: web page and it seems that none of the solutions like the symbolic link stuff works. Any help would be appreciated and if you want I can get VNC started up and hopefully you might be able to figure it out. Well thanks, I need flash to work because for cisco I have homework and all the curriculum is online http://cisco.netacad.net and it all requires flash. I am going to try posting on other forums too, please, help. thanks

libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is not present on your system.

To rectify this, install the package libstdc++2.10.

Doesn't have to be Mandrake 9.2, although I most commonly hear of this happening on Gentoo, Fedora and Mandrake 9.1/9.2.

The distribution listed by the original poster is Mandrake 9.1, in which case I would use this RPM.

You guys rock! Thanks a lot. I would have never figured that one out by myself. And I keep forgetting to put that I use 9.2 (Just upgraded). Well have a great day. I wish I could help you guys out in some way/shape/form.

I have the same problem on Gentoo still. Running on AMD64.
Exact error when starting Firebird is:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

Emerged this after i removed Mozilla, where flash didn't work either.
Tried 6.0.81 end 7.0.25 emerges and also the download from the site (by hacking script search for x86).
No freaking flash yet

, any 1 knows what I could be missing here?
