Has anyone managed to get FF 18.0 to work on Centos 5.8? I've been hacking at it, placing a stack of .so files (from Centos 6) into a private directory, then using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the system to (in a shellscript that subsequently invokes ff 18) but so far I've not managed to find the right combination. I've moved over libstdc++, all or nearly all the .so files from glib2 and glibc packages. now I"m getting:
./firefox: symbol lookup error: ./libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4
I tried to update to 18, and it did not complain about libstd++... I think I only copied: libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.10* libstdc++.so.6.0.10* No other lib or script... But 18 complained about: "Couldn't load XRE functions."
Yeah, that's what I got, too. Someone on the mozilla site said that it requires a later glibc, which is what got me going on moving over glibc and glib package shared objects from a centos-6 box.
Went back to 17.0.1 in the mean time...
me too.
You guys do know that we are fairly up2date with firefox/thunderbird on their ESR program right?
The Firefox/Thunderbird we have is totally updated for security and gets upstream support from Mozilla. It does not have every feature, but it has most and should stay on ESR.
