Hi Paul (again :-),
As you're no doubt aware, Mozilla is still in the days
of development, but even so, I have had no problems
with running the 0.9.7 version.
A Segmentation fault, usually indicates that there is
not enough memory to run your application, and thus
the program "core" dumps (assuming that your umask
value is not set to 000).
How much free memory have you got?? Thus:
free
I'd also recommend you flush your buffer too:
sync
My first inclination would be to run the "strace"
command on the mozilla binary, to see exactly where
the program is producing the "seg fault".
I seem to remember that the "/usr/bin/mozilla" file is
a shell-script. Just check that it isn't (since you
cannot run "strace" on a shell script....type:
file /usr/bin/mozilla
).
If it is a shell script, take a look at the file, and
find the location of the binary.
Then to log the strace output, type:
strace -vfo /log_output.txt /usr/bin/mozilla
*Hopefully* You should then get a nice file (and
screen) full of commands. If you send that file to me,
I can then help debug why you might be getting that
error message (I help develop Mozilla).
HTH,
Thomas Adam

0.9.7 onto my Linux machine which previously had had an earlier version on using an "Update Agent" provided by the distro (in this case Red Hat). After loading and updating the packages (which went fine apparently), the mozilla links and event he executable from both command line and icons just falls flat! The error is:
Segmentation Fault
When running:
/usr/bin/mozilla
or:
mozilla
Any ideas as to what may be the problem? I've tried rebuilding the RPM database etc, and that hasn't worked. Would it be worth reloading Mozilla or is this a permanent fixture now?
Thanks in advance!
Paul
