I now remember reading this message, but completely overlooked its importance. I will attempt this right now. Building and installing using the current books's method, and then modify the run-mozilla.sh script. If this works (I'm sure it will, but I must test it), then we'll keep our existing installation as 'make install' is a helluva lot easier than a bunch of manual copying. The whole point in trying to improve the installation of Firefox right now is to fix the profile-locking thing. I'll use whatever method is easiest which fixes the issue. > One last thing, what is the danger of using > --prefix=/opt/firefox-$VERSION instead of using the installer method? I'm not sure I understand the question. The installer method does use --prefix=/whatever on the configure line. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:41:00 up 144 days, 15:14, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
