Since the latest update Seamonkey crashes when navigating to a new site. This is on my laptop running 14.1 . The update was installed with slackpkg, so it is from the official slackware tree.

Starting seamonkey from command line, I get the following:

Any ideas?

I was having segfaults with Seamonkey on 14.1. You may want to look at my recent thread. I ended up simply removing Seamonkey, and downloading it from the project site. My "solution" is in post #3. I just couldn't figure it out and settled for the package from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/. I hope you find a real answer, but it's nice to know there's a fallback that just works. BTW I do the same thing with Firefox on my daily driver -current. I wanted to stay with ESR, so I did. Slackware makes it easy! And these giant browsers update themselves which is nice!

Thanks for the feedback. That may be the option I choose later. I'm still hoping for a fix to this as I prefer using Pat's packages as much as possible. I like using slackpkg to keep my system up to date. A couple of questions though if I do choose your method:
How did you do this? (I'm not much of a guru)

I downloaded and saved "seamonkey-2.46.tar.bz2" to /home/user/.local
Then extracted the contents like this:
as my normal user. It should leave a single "seamonkey" directory (/home/user/.local/seamonkey).
That's important so it can update itself with permissions to write to its own directory.
Now comes the softlink which allows you to launch it from the terminal, or from dmenu, etc.
Next, as root:
Now this will run just fine. Although Slackware (slackpkg) won't "know" it's installed, there is really nothing wrong with running software this way.
The only caveat I know of is this: a couple years back, the (then) new version of Seamonkey would not run on 14.1 because it had an older version of glibc than the new Seamonkey required. So I had to wait for Slackware to update. So you might run into blips like that. If you go this route, it's a good idea to put the word seamonkey into slackpkg's blacklist file: /etc/slackpkg/blacklist
By no means am I a guru, I have just played with this stuff long enough to get done what I want to get done. Namely, having a system set up MY way.
Thank you Patrick and all who support Slackware!

Maybe this fixes that?

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you.
