Thread: Thunderbird fails to launch in Karmic Koala


i'm relatively new ubuntu , have been happily running jaunty couple of months. upgraded karmic koala yesterday , experiencing problems launching thunderbird:

when launching through application>internet>mozilla thunderbird, program fails load.
going thought terminal following message:


/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory


checked in synaptic , have libstdc++6 installed.
removed , reinstalled thunderbird problem continues exist.


looks similar issue described here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599452


running thunderbird 2.0.0.23.


appreciated!



many thanks!!

i suggest reinstalling thunderbird, should install correct librarys, error getting pointing at. may not thunderbird itself, add-on have installed causes thunderbird fail load.

backup thunderbird folder in home directory (it hidden , called ".thunderbird").

use synaptic or command line remove , reinstall.

cheers, nick
