stuck with error related to libpangocairo-1.0.so installing Firefox3 on 64bit SuSE
 

Hi everyone,

After untarring the file and executing the binary for firefox, the following error is coming
"brilliant:/firefox # ./firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

The libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 is there in /usr/lib..

I guess this is because the SuSE is 64 bit and the software Im trying to install is 32 bit.. Please help me...

Hi,

You can download the 64bit firefox binary here

I have the bz2 file extracted already.the above issue comes while ./firefox. The firefox package needs to be compiled. Would be great if any one can help me with that.

Hi,

The firefox4 binary from the link in my previous post, is already compiled as a native 64bit application, so there is no need to compile anything.
Note that a 64bit application will look in /usr/lib64 for its dependencies and not in /usr/lib

I want firefox 3.0.8 specifically.So how to go ahead in that case?

If you want firefox 3.0.8 64bit, you can get the suse package from here
Compiling firefox is a bit tricky. If you insist, you can read the instructions here
