Shyam,

I did not encounter this problem as I try to run up to date version of linux, version 8 is old, but I guess you have you reason's for running such an old version !

Have a look at the last entry on this link the author there clains this did the trick for him

Hopefully this will help you out ?

I was having the same problem with firefox in Ubuntu.

I just tried installing as root.

I had no problems at all.

The only thing is I'm not sure where it installed as I still have the previous version working from the world link.

The location of that library is obviously in a directory with only root permissions (I'm surprised Ubuntu allows everyone to install things anyway as this is very un-unix).

Good luck,
Leon.
