Hi, firefox-bin and thunderbird-bin does't work on my up_to_date gentoo (GCC 4.1.1 GLIBC_2.4) and fail to start with the following error: No running windows found /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory thunderbird-bin exited with non-zero status (127) I tried to re-emerge them but keeps same error. If I emerge normal firefox (no -bin) it works OK. Now looking at these commands seems like I need libstdc++-v3: gnelson nelson # eix libstdc++ * sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 Available versions: ~3.3.3-r1:5 3.3.4:5 ~3.3.6:5 Installed: none Homepage: http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/ Description: Compatibility package for running binaries linked against a pre gcc 3.4 libstdc++ Provides: none License: GPL-2 LGPL-2.1 * virtual/libstdc++ Available versions: 3.3:3.3 Installed: 3.3 Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/ Description: Virtual for the GNU Standard C++ Library Provides: none License: GPL-2 Found 2 matches. gnelson nelson # equery depends libstdc++ [ Searching for packages depending on libstdc++... ] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.5.0.7 www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.7 gnelson nelson # So I made this bug so Gentoo provide new firefox-bin and thunderbird-bin compiled against new libstdc++...
I was about to emerge libstdc++-v3 in order to fix firefox-bin and thunderbird-bin, but seeing the emerge was 22MB I prefered to emerge source thunderbird ebuild until a working thunderbird-bin is created...
It already does depend on virtual/libstdc++

And as said, the needed dependency is already there. If you unmerged sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 by mistake, then re-emerge it.

I thought -bin packages were created by gentoo crew instead of upstream... good to know... > And as said, the needed dependency is already there. If you unmerged > sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 by mistake, then re-emerge it. If the -bin binary is provided directly from upstream with that dependency then it's ok to require libstdc++-v3, but if gentoo were the ones to provide it it should be depended just on libstdc++ (glibc-2.4 aware). Anyway, as I said, I emerged plain ebuilds for firefox and thunderbird and are working ok without having to emerge that 22MB second libstdc++-v3. Thanks for your answers and explanations.
