4/19    I'm trying to get mozilla 1.3 to run on my ultra 5, solaris 2.8
        box on the local display.  I've patched the os, I've added the
        shared memory options to /etc/system, I've grabbed the gtk/glib
        from netscape7 from sun, I've added that to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
        I've pulled my hair out.  All I get is a prompt back when
        mozilla-bin exits with error code 1.  I ran truss on it but I
        didn't see anything special going on.  Has anyone got mozilla to
        run on a solaris 2.8 box?  Is there some trick I'm missing?  Thanks!

        \_ this is why a run a windows desktop
        \_ mozilla --debug?
           \_ I don't have a debugger installed and the binary comes pre-
              stripped anyway....  I've been using NS6.2.3 which sucks.
        \_ Try this
           delete components/compreg.dat
           cd to your home directory and run $prefix/mozilla
           After that, you should be able to use mozilla from any directory.
           Also don't forget to run the shell script that's mentioned
           in the mozilla release notes if the mozilla directory is not
           writable by the users. By the way, I have found some strange
           rendering problems in Sun's mozilla package. I have built a 1.3
           package using gcc and I am not seeing these problems. You
           can grab my package at
           http://math.berkeley.edu/~akopps/mozilla/1.3
                 \_ How do you install this after untarring it?
           \_ I'd love to get strange rendering problems.  It means I'm
              rendering.  :-)  I tried all this and nothing.  I've tried as
              root and as a normal user.  Blah.  I guess I'm stuck with
              what I've got.  Maybe mozilla 1.4 will run when it comes out.
              Thanks for the tips!
        \_ you can also try: ln -s /usr/bin/lynx /usr/bin/mozilla
              \_ but give a try to my build. It's known to work.
                 \_ How do you install this after untarring it?
        \_ mv .mozilla .mozilla.old; mozilla. Or try mozilla1.2.1
        \_ is anyone else irked by how hard it is to run mozilla
           \_ Yes.  Very irked.  I've never had so much trouble getting
              something to run.  The complete lack of any error message on
              exit is extremely frustrating.  I'm using NS7 now which is
              better but still not the real deal.  I can't use binaries from
              an individual's compile although I do appreciate the offer.
              I'll probably end up compiling my own when I get time.  --op
                \_ the lack of error message almost certainly means it's a
                   problem with the libraries it's linked against, compared
                   to what libraries are on your system--I've seen this happen
                   with other applications on Solaris.  The app never loads
                   enough to generate an error message.  -tom
                   \_ Huh?  Meaning the binary itself is bad?  I got it from
                      the http://mozilla.org site.  Is there a solution other than
                      doing my own compile?  thanks!  -op
                        \_ meaning the binary was linked against libraries
                           other than the ones you're trying to load.  -tom
