Mozilla 1.7 Needs An Unobtanium Dependency?
Go ahead and upgrade it to the latest Mozilla 1.7 which works better and eve has the spell checker builtin. 73 de Donn Washburn aka N5XWB
I am trying to do this on my wife's PC but I am being blocked by dependencies and conflicts. I have copied the /home/zzz/ .mozilla folder elsewhere so I can restore should the upgrade fail. Then I deleted the original .mozilla folder and tried the installation of Mozilla 1.7 from YaST. It is complaining about libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) which does not appear to reside anywhere on the Net for SuSE 9 -- is it "unobtanium" or just buried somewhere?

I'm using mozilla 1.7 (beta) since a couple of weeks, and this is suse 8.2. No problems to install it, but I used the tgz from the mozilla site, not an rpm.

I don't think it is wise to replace the glibc, unless you really know what you are doing. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I have installed it a couple of times, rpm, tgz, and the "ever so lovely", if only randomly working "net install" . I haven't had that complaint on any of them.

I agree, better to replace the complaining app than get lost in a morrass of whining depencies which may , or not, be needed. That can leave you w/ a randomly working application ( it might take exception to something else.) and an equally random choice of formerly working apps which will not even show any "launch feedback in the slightest. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit it's just an afterthought; okay ? : A conscience does not prevent sin.
