Google Gears Does Not Work In Linux
Google Gears is a small application designed to help you use Google services offline. The installation seemed to work successful and the extension also is listed in the addons, but google gears setting page does not appear. Maybe you’re facing the same problem, here’s the solution.
If you’re running Firefox (For some reasons they called it Iceweasel in Debian) on a linux platform, google gears requires glibc 2.3.5 or higher and libstdc++5. APT-Get it!
sudo apt-get install libc6 libstdc++5
That’s it. Happy gearing!
