Slackware 12.1, used slackpkg upgrade seamonkey and i wound up with seamonkey-2.0-i486-3_slack12.2.
I have 2 seamonkey directories in /usr/lib:
seamonkey
seamonkey-2.0
1st question: how do i get the seamonkey icon in Xfce and icewm to open seamonkey?
2nd ques: Why is there Mozilla folder seperate from firefox and seamonkey in /usr/lib?
3rd ques: What is the initiating or opening file for each browser:
firefox and seamonkey. I found that in icewm the icon appears to call mozzilla to open seamonkey?
Can someone help i am lost at this point. I think i should remove one of the seamonkey directories from /usr/lib but i will wait till someone that knows for sure can instruct me.
BTW (Can someone point me in the direction of a clear step by step on howt o setup a mirror of slackware distros on my computer?
The /usr/lib/seamonkey directory is just a link to /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.0. It is there so that you (or an application) can always access the seamonkey directory without necessarily knowing the currently installed version. In other words, if you had a script that installed an extension for seamonkey, it wouldn't have to know that your actual installation is /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.x, it could just install to /usr/lib/seamonkey and work for whatever version is installed.
Many libraries and applications are setup this way. Certainly all of the Mozilla ones do.
