Galeon package(s) for Slackware 9.0?

oot · 05-10-2003, 04:33 PM

I have a machine with low enough disk space that I can't install development tools for compiling software.

Does anybody know where I can find .tgz package(s) for Galeon for 9.0? Galeon's website only has rpm packages, has anybody managed to coax these into working on Slackware and if so which distro's rpms did you use?

You must have overlooked the site. They have the tar.gz source downloads available from the download link on http://galeon.sourceforge.net located here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...?group_id=6999

No, the .tar.gz's are source code. I need a Slackware binary because I can't compile source code.

Don't think they have them, your outta luck really. You could always download the rpm and convert it to a tgz, etc.

Do you have any suggestions as to which distribution's RPMs are more likely to work (RedHat or SuSE)?

It probably doesn't matter if your going to be converting them to tgz's, etc. Usually after converting them, they just turn into precompiled binaries there afterwards.

You could try these: http://www.blazebox.homeip.net:81/diffie/slackware/
Although, you will probably need to use the same mozilla it was compiled against.
