Below is the error I receive when attempting to run a newly installed
version of netscape 4.79 on centOS 4.0 (RHEL 3), which is my personal
computer at home. This is the only browser that works on linux that is
compatible with the Thorium installer for BMC Patrol. I downloaded the
browser from netscapes website browser archive and used the
prepackaged installer script with all defaults.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cd /opt/netscape
[EMAIL PROTECTED] netscape]$ ./netscape
./netscape: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

To correct this I intend to install the necessary libraries. At this
point I'm only guessing and have googled my way to the conclusion that
I need to install libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 to get the
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 libraries for this version of netscape to
run. I am fairly certain that I did not install properly but even so
if the libraries were there, shouldn't they be somewhere in the
directory I installed this in (maybe not and please don't bother
responding if this is too moronic to answer)? The command I used to
search for this is:

ls -la /usr/lib/gcc2/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 
ls -la /usr/local/bin/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 

/usr/lib/gcc2 is the objdir I built it in. I followed the installation
instructions exactly with using only the default settings. The only
setting I entered was the objdir ( objdir is /usr/lib/gcc2 ). Below
are the exact steps I took.

Extracted tarball to /home/bill/files/gcc/gcc-2.95.3
mkdir /usr/lib/gcc2
cd /usr/lib/gcc2
/home/bill/files/gcc/gcc-2.95.3/configure
make bootstrap
make install

This is the output from running /home/bill/files/gcc/gcc-2.95.3/config.guess
i686-pc-linux-gnu

The reason I used /usr/lib/gcc2 was because the instuctions sounded
like you could install two versions of gcc and make a symbolic link
between them. I assumed the current version of gcc libraries would be
in /usr/lib and just wanted to keep them together. If none of this
makes any sense please do not attemt to make any out of it and let me
know if this is even the correct package to install to get the
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 libraries on my system...or just let me know
where to download the right thing if it is even part of gcc....If you
are able to please let me know how to get this installed onto my
system. Thanks in advance!

Bill
