I'm using Scientific Linux (SL), recompiled from Red Hat Enterprise 4, version x86_64.
It only came with Firefox 1.0.8 so I'm upgrading to 1.5.0.4
Firefox has several builds of their browser. From the mozilla.com/firefox website
I downloaded Linux i686 into /$HOME/ and then entered
Code:
tar -zxvf firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz
In directory /firefox, entering ./firefox launches the browser and connects to the internet.
Firefox appears to install library files in the firefox directory. I think they're 32 bit.
I found a 64 bit firefox called swiftfox at mozilla.com and downloaded it to /$HOME/. I then entered
Code:
tar -jxvf swiftfox.en-US.linux-athlon-xp.tar.bz2
In directory /swiftfox, entering ./swiftfox produces the following error message:
./swiftfox-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0:
cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
Firefox 1.0.8 is located in /usr/lib64. There are about 12 libpangoxxx files but no
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0. I also searched the harddrive and found nothing.
Anyone have an idea what the problem is?
