firefox upgrade
 

i am running Firefox1.0.2 that came with my distro of Mandriva 10.1, but i want to upgrade FF to 1.0.6. i have gone to mozilla.org, downloaded the tar.gz file for FF1.0.6, and untarred it just fine. however, when i give the command "[...firefox-installer]$ ./firefox-installer" i get this error

./firefox-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No suchfile or directory

what can i do to install FF1.0.6?
where can i get/open this ibstdc++.so.5 file that i cant open?

any help is appreciated,
:confused:

i also face the same problem,
go to RPMfind website and download it.

i got ff 1.0.6 from the package manager does that not upgrade it on 10.1 or even from the updates it should update ff to latest version. ignore the package manager it was updates i got it in.

thanks for your replies, but i still have some problems.

futurist, i went to rpmfind.org, and the latest FF it has is 1.0.4, and i would like 1.0.6

boxerboy, could you clarify your post some, this is my first try with linux and im not that familier with it yet

if you have firefox if you do your updates it should update firefox to 1.0.6.

Go to http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2)
get the file that suits your distro and install it (with Konkeror), and then install FF.

Or go to konsole, su, and
urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/10.2/RPMS with hdlist.cz
urpmi.update
urpmi mozilla-firefox
(Thac has the 1.0.6 version.)

There you go !

you should be able to use rpmdrake to install that package (the C++, not the firefox). once that's done, you can install firefox 1.0.6 the way you first tried. keep in mind it will install it whereever you untarred it.

search for libstdc++.so.5
login as root,
run
rpm -i <filename>
then install firefox

anyway, i think you can opt for Opera, i feel it is better.
or may try netscape.

to upgrade firefox, make sure you have the urpmi updates repositories for your distro setup and then run
