cannot install flash player 10 in VL 5.1

[icedtea]

Code:

$ firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/icey/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

i think its looking for a library? that is not found in VL5.1 SOHO?


i tried copying the

/Desktop/flash/install_flash_player_10_linux]$ ls
flashplayer-installer*  libflashplayer.so*


libflashplayer.so    using my username and root. .. to be copied in /home/me/.mozilla/plugins

and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins


but still it does not show up in my ffox browser. . ..

tried RE INSTALLING the flashplayer version 9 instead and it was back to normal. . .

VL 5.1 is three years old now.  Not many folks are running it at this point.  The software repository is gone and it is effectively completely unsupported at this point.  It may be awfully hard for you to get an answer.  Even worse, VL 5.1 has lots of unpatched security vulnerabilities and new security updates are NOT being provided anymore.

I honestly think it's time for an upgrade.  If you're a KDE sort of person then go with VL SOHO 5.9.1.

You can use find or whereis to find the library.

You may just have to create the symlink.
