Hi, guys,
I have a problem with Java on a site that I used all the time under XP
pro.  Now some functions don't work, and the site manager has told me
that they have seen issues with firefox but don't have a resolution.  I
just checked and I do not have any of these libraries installed:
[root at localhost lesh]# rpm -qa '*compat-libstdc++*'
[root at localhost lesh]# 

Where do I get these libraries and if you don't mind, what is the
precise command sequence needed to get them installed?

Regards,
Les H
