dalee Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 I've installed Mozilla 1.3 from the tarball just fine. But I can only get it to run as root. I checked the permissions and it shows that it should be exicutable by my users. I've run it from the terminal to get any errors. This is what I got: /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libmozjs.so is there in the mozilla directory so it should be seen. The permissions look right. So what am I missing? Thanks, dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libmozjs.so is there in the mozilla directory so it should be seen. The permissions look right. So what am I missing? Where is libmozjs.so? And how exactly are you attempting to run it? With a symlink? For example, I have Netscape 7 that is in /usr/local/netscape It is run by /usr/local/netscape/netscape which in turn executes /usr/local/netscape/mozilla-bin. But, if I symlink /usr/local/netscape/netscape to say /usr/bin/netscape then it looks for the mozilla-bin in that directory (the directory where the symlink is, so you have to symlink the new /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin there, too)and for the shared libraries in /usr/lib/mozilla (the old default MDK location) and not /usr/local/lib/mozilla where the new ones are.

dalee Posted March 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Thanks Steve, Sorry it took so long to reply, but I've not had time to do much this week. I tried to make a symlink, but that failed also. Every thing I could think of didn't work. So I deleted the mozilla directory and reinstalled it. It failed again. So I re-downloaded it. This time everything works great. I must of had a bad download. Thanks for your help!! dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
