Hi All,
I'm new to slackware, but not overly new to linux in general (I switched to Ubuntu on my work laptop permanently), but I'm having issues getting the system to a state that I require.
For this post, I'm looking at upgrading Firefox. With the 13.37, it comes with FF4, but I w.ould like to have 9 or 10.
I'm trying to upgrade to FF 10. I've downloaded the files from:
ftp://slackware.org.uk/salix/x86_64/13.37/salix/xap/ and tried the "doinst.sh" file that was included with it and it extracted a few extra files, but didn't install the program like I wanted. When I run "firefox" from that directory, just says repeatedly
and I don't know what to do.
I've downloaded some other files from slackbuilds.org and another site or two but kept running into the same issue; if the files are correct, I don't know what to properly do with them.
Can someone point me in the right direction step by step to upgrade firefox?
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post.
