Title: Java Problem
Post by: rajesh.bahl on November 08, 2007, 07:34:36 PM

Dear All,

Need your help in sorting out problem:-

I recently installed CentOS 5.0 and is working fine. The default browser shipped with it is firefox 1.5.x. This is working okay except in one situation--when I need Java, it say "additional plugins are required".

I downloaded latest Java rpm from Sun's site and installed it. As per instructions with the RPM, i made the appropriate links with  in plugin directories. When I go to sun site again to verify that java is installed properly, the required aplet ( as confirmation) does not appaer and the space for it remains blank.

Also I tried to install firefox 2.0.0.9 manually. After untarring the filewhen i run ./firefox, it returns the following error:-
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to search the  libstdc++.so.5 file on the system but the file found was different : libstdc++.so.6.

Thus either way I am stuck up. Please help  !!
