Installing Firefox 3.5 on Redhat Linux AS 4 steps?
 

Hi,
I am struggling with installation of Firefox 3.5 on my Linux Redhat 4 update 4 but unable to bring it working.

/home/user/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpango cairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

from where I can get the rpm of all required libs for firefox 3. thanks

using the standard RHEL packages, the file libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 is available in packages:
frysk or
evolution28-pango

1) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/evolution28/lib
2) ./firefox

You may need some more libs, please see post # 7 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hlight=firefox
( libdbus-1.so.3 , libdbus-glib-1.so.2 )
.....
If you don't want to compile the special dbus files,
click my name, send an email and I will attach a
package to a mail. ( 421 kB ).

Thank you for email.

The package libdbus1-libs-1.1.2-2.noarch.rpm ( really : i386 ) will install the libs to
/usr/evolution28/lib/ \
libdbus-1.so.3 , libdbus-1.so.3.4.0, libdbus-glib-1.so.2 , libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0

I have firefox-3.5 installed to /usr/local/ , and have made a link = firefox35
to /usr/local/bin :
cd /usr/local/bin/ , su , password ,
# ln -s ../firefox/firefox firefox35

Then firefox can be started with a script ( firefox )
located in /usr/local/bin/

From your second email,.. Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 2:03 AM, quote
Please do this : 1) su
2) yum install evolution28-*
( the star ( * ) is a wild card symbol )
... which will install
evolution28-glib2-2.12.3-6.el4
evolution28-atk-1.12.2-4.el4
evolution28-cairo-1.2.4-6.el4
evolution28-gtk2-2.10.4-22.el4
evolution28-pango-1.14.9-11.el4_7
... all required by firefox-3.x.

( which is just a reminder, same question as referred to in # 5.)

Supplementary comments :
.. If you do not pay for support from Redhat, you cannot
use 'yum' or 'up2date' to install packages.

One other choice is to use the identical packages from CentOS :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.7/...6/CentOS/RPMS/
evolution28-glib2-2.12.3-6.el4.i386.rpm
evolution28-atk-1.12.2-4.el4.i386.rpm
evolution28-cairo-1.2.4-6.el4.i386.rpm

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.7/updates/i386/RPMS/
evolution28-gtk2-2.10.4-22.el4.i386.rpm
evolution28-pango-1.14.9-11.el4_7.i386.rpm
......

I am going to download the rpm from the links provided and also reading the following in order to get yum working,

Thanks for your cooperation.

Well, no Redhat support ....
Then it is much easier to install the free version,
which is CentOS.
The current version is 5.3 ( = Redhat EL 5.3 ).

But then again, the yum solution, ref # 7
will keep you busy for some time...:)
