Now firefox won't work

Post#1 by **Jack** » 27 Oct 2021, 23:37

When I install the new FireFox I had abiword and gnumeric it work but I replace it with libreoffice and now it needs libstdc++.so.6 which module would be a right one to use?

I only found one and it was 110mb is size insync-3.1.3.40790-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm wish I could find a smaller one.

I came up with a idea can I remove libstdc++.so.6 from insync-3.1.3.40790-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm and place it in here /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 but will it work?

You can get libstdc++.so.6.0.29 from aaa_libraries (Slackware Current)

Well I check and aaa_libraries is all ready in my packages list it part of Porteus-5.0rc3-MATE-X86_64.iso.

Here is the ERROR I get.

guest@porteus:~$ firefox
/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox)
guest@porteus:~$

And a screen shot.

by the looks of your screenshot, something you've added(a module most likely) has brought in libstdc++.so.5 which has probly overwritten the symlink: libstdc++.so , so that it no longer points at libstdc++.so.6

Code: Select all

find /mnt/live/memory/images/*/usr/lib64 | grep "libstdc++.so.5"

When I built those programs I built on fresh install with Porteus-MATE-5.0rc3-x86_64 with on other programs install. I downloaded firefox then I type txz2xzm firefox to convert it. After built then I activate firefox. I open terminal and run firefox to check for error and it found it needed libstdc++.so.6. I guest I should have look at that point. So the the problem was there before I started.

When I do another program I delete the changes directory /mnt/sdb1/porteus/changes and start over. I want a clean install. I download all the modules I want to convert first.

correction: both libstdc++ 5 and 6 are present in rc3.. but the symlink: libstdc++.so isn't. so that should not be there.
how clean your system is when make the firefox module is isn't the point.. it's what you add after.. so

Code: Select all

find /mnt/live/memory/images/*/usr/lib64 | grep "libstdc++.so"

as far as firefox is concerned, why not use the browser update app?

Porteus-MATE-v5.0rc3-x86_64
+
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/Porteus-v5 ... -en-US.xzm
= no error.

I think this porteus Mate will be my last version. I know my Nemesis Mate has problems it seem to work better.

It is contradictory,

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.
