Are there any .DEB downloads of Seamonkey out there? All I can find (at the site) are the source and the installer (as a gzip). I couldn't get it to install using the installer (even with the instructions in the readme), and I'd like to avoid compiling from source, because this is for a college course and I don't feel like I have time to worry about compiling. (The course calls for an HTML editor, and Seamonkey is one of the suggested programs with an HTML editor.)

Since I couldn't get the Linux version of Seamonkey to install from its installer (I think the error message was something about being unable to open a screen), the only solution I knew was to run Windows XP in Virtualbox and download/install/run the Windows version of Seamonkey from there. That is not my ideal solution.

You may have been having trouble with permissions when installing. Try running 'sudo ./seamonkey-installer' instead of running it from a root terminal.

There are deb archives around; in the Debian/Ubuntu/Mepis alternate universe it is called 'iceape', and you will find it in the Debian repositories and in Ubuntu and Mepis 8 too. But I would suggest that using those is probably harder than getting the installer going (unless it is in the repositories for your particular distro), because of the multiple packages involved.

If Iceape is just a Debian rebranding of Seamonkey, I'm interested. Couldn't I just do "apt-get build-dep iceape"? If I can't find it using Synaptic?

Your profile says MEPIS 8, is that the distro you are doing this on?

Yes, that is correct.

I ran into dependency problems. Kpackage says that iceape-browser apparently needs the latest version of libhunspell-1.2-0, but "apt-get libhunspell-1.2-0" says my version is already the latest.

I don't have time for this; I have classes to worry about. I give up. I'll just keep running the Windows version of Seamonkey in Windows XP in a virtual machine.
