/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found
I am trying to run the firefox from firefox-4.0.tar.bz2 on CentOS 5.6 and get the error message,
./firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by firefox/libxul.so)
Firefox does not start.
I thought having a copy of the library in the local directory would help, so I made a link:
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libstdc++.so.6
then I got the error message,
./firefox-bin: /firefox/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by firefox/libxul.so)
My version of glibc is:
$ rpm -q glibc glibc-2.5-58.el5_6.2 glibc-2.5-58.el5_6.2

Yes, that led to my solution. There was a lot of noise in the two links, but some solid signal. Ths solution came from dietux's reference in /questions/777306 Bug 621704 to http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2075033 :
1. Download the Fedora 9 package of libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm from http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm .
2. Unpack the package in your Firefox 4 directory with relative paths (does not require super user permissions):
[firefox]$ rpm2cpio libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
3. Move the library and its link to the Firefox 4 directory:
[firefox]$ mv usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6* .
[NOTE: this is a RELATIVE path -- it has no leading slash.]
4. Run Firefox 4:
./firefox
Thank you for your help!

P.S. I do agree with the posters in [Bug 621704] that CentOS 5.x is NOT obsolete. The whole point of CentOS (and RHEL) is that it will be around for awhile. I left Fedora for CentOS because it changed too much.
Thanks for this solution. Just run it on my Acer Aspire One - A150 and this has sorted it out - brilliant. I'd already tried to perform the update within Firefox to 4.0, and so I was left with a non responsive icon on the main screen.
Ran the commands for unpacking the libstdc* file, and putting it in place in the Firefox directory and it fired straight up.
