Via PM I asked you to check if gnome-open http://some.url gives you any success. But that command gave you only an error message about missing libraries IIRC. If that's still the case, Thunderbird will never open Firefox to open the URL. You have to fix that missing library. So have you done what I told you in my last statement? "So you have to install the package avahi-glib at least." ------------------------------------------------- > ~> gnome-open http://www.scs-ptc.com > > gnome-open: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-glib.so.1: > > cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > > > > But I use KDE. OK, that's the reason. gnome-open uses the very same function call as Thunderbird to open an URL. Even if you use KDE the requirements should be fulfilled what doesn't seem to be the case on your system: Hygiea:~ # ldd `which gnome-open` | grep avahi libavahi-glib.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-glib.so.1 (0x00002b1908901000) libavahi-client.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-client.so.3 (0x00002b1908b06000) libavahi-common.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-common.so.3 (0x00002b1908f4f000) Hygiea:~ # rpm -qf `which gnome-open` libgnome-2.20.0-6 Hygiea:~ # rpm -qR libgnome | grep avahi libavahi-client.so.3()(64bit) libavahi-common.so.3()(64bit) libavahi-glib.so.1()(64bit) Ignore the 64bit stuff for your system. So you have to install the package avahi-glib at least. ------------------------------------------------- Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
