    Installing Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Fedora 5

    Hi,

    I've done the following:
    1. unpacked firefox-2.*.tar.gz to /usr/local/lib
    2. root@localhost bin]# rm firefox
    3. root@localhost bin]# ln -s /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox

    Tried running firefox, nothing happens.

    Tried running firefox from terminal from the unpacked directory, brings up the following error:

    /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    I think it's something to do with the c++ compiler, any help?

    execute this
    Code:
    yum -y install libstdc++.so.5
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
