Rowan Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hello all. I am trying to install Firefox 3.0.3 on Mandriva 2006 and I am unable to install it. I have unpacked it but am unable to use './configure' etc as it will not accept the usual commands. Is there a new method of installing tar.bz2 files or maybe something I am missing out on? I have searched through many different places and have found nothing to assist me with my dilemma. Mind you there are indications that I might need to update GTK+ and other things to make it work anyway. On the other hand is it availablke as an RPM from somewhere to make life even easier? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 After you have unpacked the tar.bz2, you should have a folder named firefox. Copy this folder to your location of choice (mine is in /opt). Run firefox by executing /opt/firefox/firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 With Mandriva 2006, no an rpm probably doesn't exist. And from what I remember, you don't need to do any compiling. Just run it from the folder as daniewicz says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
