I have ximian-gnome installed and want to use galeon as a web browser. I downloaded the galeon.rpm from the S.u.S.E.web site and tried to install it. The error message said that in order to install it (galeon -1.0-5) I must have Mozilla 0.9.5 installed. I have mozilla 0.9.8 installed. I have two questions: 1. Is galeon specifically designed for a particular mozilla version, or could it work with a later mozilla version? 2. If galeon could work with a later mozilla version, how do I force galeon to load? Thanks dj tuchler
galeon only works with specific versions of mozilla. to use galeon with mozilla 0.9.8 you need galeon 1.0.3. I dont know if suse have released an updated galeon rpm yet. Ewan On Tue, 2002-02-26 at 18:49, Dennis Tuchler wrote:

Yeah if you run red-carpet there is a matching version of galeon that works with mozilla 0.9.8 (I had a lot of problems with both but this time it seems to work on my SuSE 7.2) On Tuesday 26 February 2002 10:55, you wrote:

I think rpm with the --nodeps option would make it not check. Might
be --no-deps.

Galeon binaries are made to match a specific mozilla version. It may be possible to compile the source code to build against other versions of Mozilla. This is tricky under SuSE, because Mozilla lives in /opt/mozilla among other things. Somebody posted a rather long set of ./configure options for doing this a while ago, maybe he could repost? -- Have an adequate day.
That was me... If you're building with the SuSE Mozilla builds, you need these options: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/gnome \ --with-mozilla-libs=/opt/mozilla \ --with-mozilla-includes=/opt/mozilla/include \ --with-nspr-includes=/opt/mozilla/include/nspr \ --with-mozilla-home=/opt/mozilla --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/gnome If you have the Ximian Mozilla builds (and they have updated them - Ximian are a lot slower & unlikely to do this than SuSE) ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/gnome \ --with-mozilla-libs=/opt/gnome/lib \ --with-mozilla-includes=/opt/gnome/include/mozilla \ --with-nspr-includes=/opt/gnome/include/nspr \ --with-mozilla-home=/opt/gnome/lib/mozilla \ --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/gnome
