I used the i386 RPM on RHEL 5, and when I try to run google-chrome, I get, “/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9′ not found (required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)”

Good job, Ben!

I’m using your rpm’s in my OpenSuSE 11.1 and i can say to you that your last release works fine in an 64 bit PC ( A Quad Core Duo with 8 GB of ram ). The Adobe Flash plugin ( 64 bit Release Candidate ) works fine too.

Regards and thanks a lot!

kyle : I just installed the 64-bit version on openSUSE 11.1, and it worked right out of the box without any need to link libraries. Thanks!

Same here Creating a new build anytime soon? Thanks!

I had to download the file and then run in in terminal but the browser works great. Thanks for building the RPM.

I use OpenSUSE 11.1 KDE 4.3

The rpm works perfectly on Mandriva 2009.1. One has to link the libs as explained (they are in /lib, not /usr/lib on Mandriva). May be you could say this on the next version blog post… (or edit this one
I’ve got an old machine and Chrome is eating much more power than does Firefox or Konqueror. May be I’m doing something wrong, but opening the same tabs in Chrome leaves the CPU (Athlon XP 2600+) at 100% all the time!
By the way, thanks for the packages!

@BenderBendingRodriguez So it is. 32-bit I mean, both "file" and "ldd" tells me so. And from what I can gather, all xxx-32bit packages are installed (besides, other 32bit programs, admittedly very few, work as they should). At least ldd can find all required 32-bit libs apart from version 3.4.9 of libstdc++.so.6. According to yast, the required package is libstdc++43, which is installed in both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Do I need to create an additional symlink?

You need to install all 32 bit packages. The 64 bit chromium is in fact 32 bit and it looks like they won’t port it to 64 very fast. If you lack a dependency on a 64 bit box then you might need a xxx-32bit package.

I always get:

/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9′ not found (required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)

when trying to start the 64-bit version using openSUSE 11.1. According to ldd, everything is in place and should work.

Ben, you are a gem

I tested google-chrome at my mother’s PC (crap Intel GMA945 Celeron 2.4GHz and 512MB RAM), and it started couple of times faster than firefox, it’s flash performance was also better. It is going to be one of the best (if not the best) browsers on linux. Additionally its not slower on linux when compared to the same setup on windows Yes, i’m looking at You firefox.

P.S. Peacekeeper, the browser benchmark (some may not accept it some may) reported google-chrome more than two times faster than firefox on my mother’s PC.
