Forgive me is this is the incorrect place to post this. I found an 
announcement for an older version
of firfox on yahoo x86groups which seemed to indicate a post here might 
be ok.

I know it is weird but it would be very helpful to me to be able to run
firefox on a sparc box (an old sunblade 100) in the data center and 
display it on my
desktop (which happens to be a Dell optiplex running solaris express 
build 79b, but
I can't imagine that matters).

When I try to fire up firefox on the sunblade it fails with this

##> /bin/firefox
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file 
/usr/ucblib/libucb.so.1: symbol _siguhandler: referenced symbol not found
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file 
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol gtk_init: referenced symbol not found
Killed


I have tried several versions of firefox, the latest being 2.0.0.14, and 
even the blastwave distribution.
They all have failed in the same way. This only seem to be a problem 
with sparc flavors of firefox.
I have one X4100 running solaris 10 amd64 and when I try this 
experiment, firefox  2.0.0.7  displays
just fine on my local desktop.

Googling this error, I have so far only found some info about an older 
version of tivoli looking for this library and thus failing to run. 
Those threads seemed to indicate that the application was trying to use 
a now-deprecated
library.

I had thought that perhaps I was missing a package but I have installed 
the SUNWCall cluster on this
and other machines. They all seem to have the same problem.

Any insight appreciated. thanks.
