Hi. On my newly installed SuSE 8.1, I have installed Mozilla in /usr/local/mozilla. After I have made a file /etc/profile.d/mozilla.sh, that contains: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla But mozilla doen't start up. Where's the culprit ?. -- Erik Jakobsen

Perhaps that should have been PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mozilla/bin JDL

Assuming you left the install directory as default, then you've got an extra 'mozilla' in the ststement. The PATH points to a directory, but /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla is a file, hence it fails. Try: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mozilla or betterstill, you could put a link to /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla into /usr/local/bin Dylan -- "Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars" Billy Bragg

Try:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mozilla
That worked :-)

Goog good

Either use the ln command which is ln -s <target> <link-name> : ln -s /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla /usr/local/bin/mozilla The '-s' option is for a /soft-link/ . look at man ln for more info. OR In Konqueror, drag the file from /usr/local/mozilla to /usr/local/bin and when the menu pops up choose 'Link here' Both of those need to be done as root, of course, so you have write permission on /usr/... Then you should be able to bypass the script with the path setting in it. This is good because if you repeatedly run the script you could end up with lots of /usr/local/mozilla being added on the end. You can check that with: echo $PATH Dylan -- "Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars" Billy Bragg

Yes nice.

ln -s /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla /usr/local/bin/mozilla

Oh yes. I did not thought of it as a symbolic link to be made.
OR
In Konqueror, drag the file from /usr/local/mozilla to /usr/local/bin and when the menu pops up choose 'Link here'
Do you mean the Konqueror file manager ?.
Both of those need to be done as root, of course, so you have write permission on /usr/...
Then you should be able to bypass the script with the path setting in it. This is good because if you repeatedly run the script you could end up with lots of /usr/local/mozilla being added on the end. You can check that with:
I can se its a better way not to have this script.
echo $PATH
Thanks so much.

I did the last, as I thought it was the best. It is working nicely. Thanks again Dylan. -- Erik Jakobsen

Simply call the script "/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla" directly. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

You have too many mozilla's in your PATH. It should be PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mozilla/ /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla is the name of the mozilla executable (actually a script, but executable all the same). Jim
Thanks to all that responded to the subject. Happy New Year 2003 -- Erik Jakobsen
