Hi, Daniel,

When I tried downloading a binary, 32-bit on my 32-bit system, I got this 
message:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/users/glennm/inst/seamonkey/libxul.so:
libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

Searches through the yum repository and rpmfind turned up no glib2 rpm with libgio-2.0 in 
it, at least not for CENTOS 5.11, so I downloaded the Mercurial source code, and followed 
the build instructions on the seamonkey-project website. The build first complained that 
I needed Python 2.7, which I built from source. The next build died with the complaint 
that I needed AT LEAST GCC 4.6 to complete the build. I have yet to determine whether 
installing 4.6 on my legacy development system is a good idea, and in any event, the 
latest GCC yielded by yum search is GCC 4.4.

Sorry, Glenn, that's way above my head (cannot even see it), I thought 
there would already be a 32bit, pre-compiled, version on the SeaMonkey 
Project site that you could d/l and de-tg it and away you'd go.


Sorry!

Hi, Philip, 

Thanks for the candid assessment. I was beginning to realize this after I tried 
a Mercurial build, was told I needed GCC 4.6 or later, and couldn't find 
anything in yum search later than 4.4 for 5.11. I think I'll wait for an 
upgrade. I'm using 2.32 at home and like it, just wanted a consistent platform 
at work.

Glen, is there a particular reason why you want to build 2.32 on your 
system?? Can you not just download the version from the 
seamonkey-project site and install it??
