Mozilla 1.5 and Slackware 9.1
 

I am trying to compile mozilla 1.5 in slack 9.1, but I get the following error in compile (I have freetype2 installed already). Also, when I download the binary, Mozilla runs with no glitches but the font is smaller and blurry as opposed to mozilla firebird to where the font is crystal clear. Duing the compile i enabled xft but after recompiling for the third time I still get this eror. Any thoughts on this?

I've found it much easier to download the latest tgz package from www.linuxpackages.net and do the following:

Move the tgz package to /var/log/packages

As root do this:

removepkg <old-mozilla-pkg>

installpkg <new-mozilla-pkg>

For some reason it wouldn't allow me to upgrade the package but rather remove and then install, which worked fine for me.

I use firebird instead of standard Mozilla
