Problem with Seamonkey 2.8

2012-04-03 Thread vsethi
Unless I'm getting a bogus error message, Seamonkey 2.8 won't work on
my Slackware 12 system.  I'm getting a message that gcc 4.2.0 is required,
but I have gcc 4.1.2 installed.  Is it correct that Seamonkey 2.8 for
Linux requires gcc 4.2?  If so, what is the most recent version of
Seamonkey that will work with gcc 4.1.2 (and where is it on the seamonkey
site)?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.  I'll look at that.

Yes, it might be possible to do that; it also might destabilize the system.
So before investigating something like that, I was trying to get confirmation
that gcc 4.2 is actually required for linux versions of SeaMonkey 2.8.
(It's always possible that the error message I'm getting is bogus and that 
something else is actually wrong.)
