When I try to install firefox-1.0PR-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz I get the
following:
./firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.2: cannot
open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
The following Xft libraries are installed:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.1
try running
  SuSEconfig
  ldconfig
then try the install again
I did what you asked, but it didn't help. Firefox wants libXft.so.2 and it's
not available on my system. Other options? I downloaded the source code
also but didn't see how I could select to build firefox i.s.o. mozilla.

Thanx again & have a nice weekend,
