Re: SeaMonkey 2.0 - The Modern Internet Suite is Here!

2009-11-03 Thread Jeff Wieland

I've been working on compiling Seamonkey 2.0 on SPARC Solaris 10.  By
building various GTK+ related pieces, I've been able to actually get
it to compile.  Running it is another story, so far all I'm getting
are core dumps.  But, I did notice the following:

$ /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey/seamonkey --version
Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.1a1pre, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 mozilla.org

I'm wondering if I'm downloading the wrong tarball?  I just
redownloaded it to check -- what I'm downloading is

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.0/source/seamonkey-2.0.source.tar.bz2

OK, it looks like the build process for Seamonkey hasn't changed all
that much.

I'm starting the seamonkey-2.0b2 tarball, and the error I get is:

gmake[5]: Entering directory 
`/opt/src/appl/X/seamonkey2/seamonkey-2.0b2/comm-central/mozilla/build'

I'm not a SM build expert, but sometimes, when a file appears to not be
there, what's really wrong is the processor used for that file is not
found. In this case, it's a Python file, so do you have Python installed?

You can check that specific file to see if it has a command processor
directive at the top, like:

  #!/usr/local/python/python

or whatever. Make sure the path mentioned in the file is valid on
your system.


The aforementioned automation.py really doesn't exist.  There is a
automation.py.in in that directory -- my guess is that file is used
to build the actual automationutils.py file.

On Solaris 10, python is in /usr/bin/python.  The configure appears
to be finding it OK.

Re: Facebook problem when using SeaMonkey v1.1.17

I'm new to Facebook, so I haven't figured out all its features yet. I'm 
having a big problem trying to post on my own wall. I click in the 
window, but then when I type there the text doesn't show up and it seems 
that if I type a letter that is present nearby on the page that letter 
becomes selected and sometimes the page scrolls down.


When I use IE 8, it works fine.

Is there something truly incompatible between SeaMonkey and Facebook? I 
can use IE8 if I have to, but would much prefer not to do that.


BTW, I have the PrefBar add-on and I've tried selecting Firefox 3 in the 
browser spoof window, but that doesn't help.

Yes -- Facebook broke under Seamonkey 1.1X within the last couple of
weeks.  If you go into the URL about:config and add a new string
property called general.useragent.extra.seamonkey2 with the value
of Firefox/2.0 things will mostly work again.  At least until
Facebook breaks something else.

I've been told that the Seamonkey 2 betas work OK with Facebook.  If
I can get it built on Solaris I'll see if that's true :-).
