Hi, probably something very simple, but I just don't see it. I just installed Mozilla 0.9.9, but when I start it: ~> /opt/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh I get this message: run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute . I get the same message after su'ing to root first, or after experimenting with permissions. However! If I cd to /opt/mozilla (as user) and then execute ./run-mozilla.sh then Mozilla does start. What am I missing? The point is that I can't get a desktop icon working, because /opt/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh cannot be executed from it. TIA, SH
It should be sufficient to execute mozilla, which is located in: /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla. This wrapper takes care of setting all the involved variables. Op zondag 31 maart 2002 17:33, schreef Sjoerd Hiemstra:

No.... executing /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla again yields the message: mozilla: Cannot execute . No wonder: it appears to be a link pointing to /opt/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh But I received a reaction from Ron Cordell, saying,
I don't use the script run-mozilla. I use the mozilla script as it sets up some things correctly. And /opt/mozilla/mozilla indeed appears to be working, be it only as user.
You see, the point is, among the files in the mozilla directory are these four: mozilla mozilla-bin mozilla-installer-bin run-mozilla.sh and there is no Readme explaining what to do with it. SH
Execute it with: the debug arguments; echo "Usage: ${cmdname} [options] [program]" echo "" echo " options:" echo "" echo " -g Run in debugger." echo " --debug" echo "" echo " -d debugger Debugger to use." echo " --debugger debugger" Or cp the script to your own environment and put a "set -x" at the top of file to investigate where is goes wrong...

Did you install this via SuSE rpms? The only time I see this odd behavior is when it's downloaded from mozilla.org and the person replaces an earlier version that was installed via SuSE rpm.

Damn, my spelling sucks today. Three lines and I screw up twice. :/
Well, your first post creates the impression of you being an extremely clever person who makes these typos purposely, just to avoid being regarded as a smartass. Not bad at all !! ;-)) SH

It is indeed a .tar.gz from ftp.mozilla.org replacing a SuSE rpm, since I saved this message written by yourself: (0.9.1 - must have been some time ago ;-) ) 1. go to ftp.mozilla.org 2. Download this file : mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.1.tar.gz 3. mv it to /opt 4. mv /opt/mozilla to /opt/mozilla.old 5. Untar the file above ... tar -zxvf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.1.tar.gz 6. This will create /opt/mozilla with the new version in it..no goofy installers needed ;) 7. Surf B.R. (BTW, Togan added 6a: 6a. run as root the first time so it can workout the defaults plugins etc ) It's nice to see people looking for the SuSE rpms at that time: > > Are there any SuSE specific RPMs available for Mozilla 0.9? > > I'd love to upgrade from 0.8.1-6, but can't find the RPMs :( > > > Me too!

Where to find it then?
Move the mozilla script out of /usr/X11R6/bin if your not using SuSE's released pkgs.
Thanks, and I'll follow S.Tom's advice:
For that matter, it would proabable be better to run a 'rpm -e mozilla' and then reinstall his mozzila from mozilla.org again. This way it will remove all the SuSE rpm files and clean up his rpm database. and see if it works.
It's very late.... I'll be back tomorrow morning. Sjoerd
