That is a runtime library for C++.
It is provided by libstdc++5, so you need to grab that from the repositories -
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
Then try running the seamonkey-installer once you have that file.

somewhere useful like /usr/bin or whatever which is in your PATH ( don't

A few responses to the various comments:
- It's no co-incidence that this message came at the same time that Macs
are banging on about the same issue :-)
- I'm not convinced that leaflets are the right place for this.
- I agree with Matthew that this isn't the right "offensive message".

I've been reading a bit on the differences between apt-get and aptitude.
I'm interested to know which others on the uk-ubuntu list are using (and
why)?
Oh, and I guess that Synaptic users are welcome to contribute as well,
though I don't have a GUI on the bulk of my Ubuntu machines, so it's no
Gord,
Ubuntu has been well featured in UK media, even if the UK project hasn't.
Because Canonical are based (at least in part) in the UK, I've fired
media enquiries at them rather than the UK team...

Hi all,
This question is particularly aimed at server admin, but
desktop-specifics would be good.
If you're running an Ubuntu box, what "routine admin" do you perform

live there, or can interview a local firm / celebrity, and make the

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, I asked for advice on rendering graphics in PHP
for display in a web client.
