LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

Re: Flash plugin errors

Looks like an incompatible binary to me.

Why don't you use the unofficial "flashplugin" package?

Re: Flash plugin errors

Make a symlink to the libstdc++.  That's been talked about on the forum before, search for it.

Re: Flash plugin errors

Yea, since flashplugin is a prebuilt binary, we can't fix the problem ourselves.  You have to create a symlink to the newer version of libstdc++ as below:

# ln -s libstdc++.so /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
