Okay, lets just make sure a few things are happening that are supposed
to...
first, do you have the M16 RPM installed or did you build it by source ?
(or maybe
your just running a nightly build ?) (or do you even have mozilla
installed ?? yes you need it :)
Lets take a look at /usr/bin/galeon (truth is, its not a binary file,
its a simple
shell script.)
[root@co677054-a bin]# cat galeon
#!/bin/bash
if test -n "$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME"; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
galeon-bin $@
exit
elif [ -f /usr/local/mozilla/libgtkembedmoz.so ]; then
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla
elif [ -f /usr/lib/mozilla/libgtkembedmoz.so ]; then
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla
else
echo "Cannot find mozilla installation directory. Please
set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to your mozilla directory"
exit
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_HOME
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$MOZILLA_HOME
galeon-bin $@
I wont go over everything but the galeon script checks first in
/usr/local/mozilla/ for the embedded mozilla libraries, then
it checks /usr/lib/mozilla/ for the same thing (libgtkembedmoz.so) ..
Check and see if either of those are available on your
system... if not,, do some more searching :)
( a lot of this is nonsense to you probalby, as you've gotten it to run
already... just trying to show you what happens when you do load it.
As I was writing this, I dropped my cursor over the desktop , right
clicked->New Launcher and chose name ->"Galeon" comment-> "blah"
command -> "/usr/bin/galeon" then "OK"
clicking on the new desktop icon launches Galeon with no problems (and
if you want a nice icon for it, I ripped out a frame from the
animated raptor gif http://soros.ath.cx/mozilla.jpg )
Suppose though, for some odd and unexplained reason, your mozilla
embedded libraries were in /opt/lib/ , You would simply edit
the above script ( /usr/bin/galeon ) and replace the first elif
directory (/usr/local/mozilla/) with /opt/lib and that should make it
work.
hope some of this helps ... And if you run the nightly builds and need
a desktop icon, its a bit different, I'll show ya how to make a
simple shell script to load it up.
