libgcc error - nothing works

Hi,

When I invoke syaptic (and firefox)
I get this error:

synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I resolve this error?

Thanks.

Follow Up:

I found libgcc as follows in my system:

mypc> locate libgcc
/lib/libgcc_s-4.1.2-20070626.so.1
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/lib/libgccpp.so.1
/usr/lib/libgccpp.so.1.0.2
Thanks. Blaggard

Thanks.

PROBLEM RESOLVED!

Looked under the /lib directory for libgcc and found that the libgcc_s.so.1
was blinking red (since the link to libgcc_s-4.1.2-20070626.so.1 was broken).

I corrected the link error so that it pointed out to an existing libgcc_s-4.1.2-20070503.so.1
file and that resolved my problem.

Thanks.
