Hi guys,

Thanks for all the help. I´ve tried a few things... First is re-installing Mozilla Firefox. Now, for a person like me, I followed these instructions on the release notes of v 1.5 on the mozilla site... which were:

Extract the tarball in the directory where you want to install Firefox:
tar -xzvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz
This will create a firefox subdirectory of that directory.

Done that! But how do I run firefox? I´ve installed it in usr/local... But I´ve no idea which file is the linux equivalent of the .exe file! There is one mozilla.bin file, but when I run that, nothing happens... double click and nothing happens...

So, I need like really simple instructions on:

1. How to install the firefox files from the tar.gz file that I have downloades from mozilla.com
2. Create a desktop short cut for as well as some link on the GUI (mandrake 10.1)

Thanks again for all your help! Sorry for being so duh!

Right click on desktop create new then link to application. From there click the Application tab and in work path add usr/local/firefox/firefox the rest you can leave empty. If you go back to the general tab you can name it and choose an icon then click ok that should put a icon on your desktop.

Wee!! RealPlayer is working for me!!!!
 
Hi!
I am very happy, my realplay didn't wan't to work, but today it's working!!
Allbody will now ask me how ;) ,
yes I install the "mozplugger" package, this packge allw mozilla, firefox and netskape to access other application like realplay and PDF programs.

When I installed this package i changed the "mozpluggerrc" file in the /etc directory to do the realplayer the standard player for files like rm ... because I have an other player called hxplay, BUT you can try to open media links before changing this file.

-----------------------------------------
If it not work try to specefi the realplay path in the "mozpluggerrc" file eg:

audio/vnd.rn-realvideo: rv: RealVideo file
nokill stream: /usr/lib/RealPlayer/realplay "$file"
nokill stream: hxplay "$file"

--------------------------------------------------
You can too try with the following command to do the realplay working from eg. the consol:

PATH=<your realplay path>:"${PATH}"
ln -sf <your realplay path>realplay.bin /bin/realplay
export HELIX_LIBS=<your realplay path>

--------------------------------------------------------

here is some links that help me to find the solution:

For Mozilla/Firefox:

For Netskape 4.7x:

------------------------------------------------------

(NOTE: I have ubuntu 5.04 and I installed mozplugger with synaptic)


I hope that is working for you :D

Ask me gladly see if I can answer

Have a nice time :)

Hi guys,

I tried uninstalling and re-installing... I get this message when I try to install firefox: (this happens even when I´m logged on as root)

[jacob@host-137-205-71-211 firefox]$ ./firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[jacob@host-137-205-71-211 firefox]$

Therefore, what do I do now? completely lost... and completely confused!!

try opening just firefox and not firefox-bin run as root first then normal user. If it still doesn't work then your in the wrong directory.

Mojojo 12-13-2005 11:41 AM

jacobjohn where did you install firefox. I have mine in /usr/local/firefox so I would in root "cd /usr/local/firefox" then "./firfox" to run the shell script in that directory.
