Reinstalling doesn't fix it (at least not the OP's error), same problem here. 0.5.32.0 is installed, if you go to Add-Ons and find updates it will tell you 0.5.33.0 is available. Allow it to download the update and when it attempts to install the error dialog is back.
Fedora 10, Firefox 3.0.14 (which is libgcc 4.3.2 based). -te On Nov 5, 2:45 pm, Dallas Vogels <[email protected]> wrote: > Fixed it by reinstalling Gears.
