This way (/usr/local/seamonkey/) has worked without problems before, using the ...tar.gz file rather than the installer. Thanks for your help, Bob p.s. instructions: Installation with the SeaMonkey Installer To install SeaMonkey by downloading the SeaMonkey installer, follow these steps: *Important!* Backup your existing ~/.mozilla directory before doing any of the following. 1. Download the installer file from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ (called seamonkey-1.1.11.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz). 2. From a terminal, change to the directory that you downloaded the file to and decompress the archive with the following command: gunzip -dc sea*.tar.gz | tar -xvf - (This places the installer in a subdirectory named seamonkey-installer: /home/username/seamonkey-installer) 3. Change to the seamonkey-installer directory: cd ~/seamonkey-installer and run the installer with the following command: ./seamonkey-installer 4. Follow the instructions in the install wizard for installing SeaMonkey. When you get to the Please select the setup type you wish to install popup, select Complete and select Change for the destination directory. Set the directory to /home/username/seamonkey and click OK. That will set a path for /home/username/seamonkey and tell you that the directory does not exist. It will then ask if you want the installer to create the directory for you, answer yes. Note: do not use /user/local/seamonkey for the installation location. 4. To start SeaMonkey: cd ~/seamonkey ./seamonkey 6. Once you're satified that all is working well, create an application menu using /home/username/seamonkey/seamonkey as the application command. Icons can be found in: /home/username/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/ - I recommend using the seamonkey.png icon. With that done, you can completely remove the distro version 1.1.9 of SeaMonkey. Note: I've modified the above from 'seamonkey1.1.11' to just 'seamonkey'. There is no need to create a directory with the version in the name as you'll want to use the same directory for SeaMonkey 1.1.12 when it comes out later this month. There is also no need to 'mkdir seamonkey' as that is done when you use the installer wizard. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The Seamonkey README says that it should be started the first time by root. Seamonkey README: Note: If you install in the default directory (which is usually /usr/local/seamonkey), or any other directory where only the root user normally has write-access, you must start SeaMonkey first as root before other users can start the program. Doing so generates a set of files required for later use by other users. However, do not use sudo to run the installer as root because that can damage your profile.

Seamonkey 1.1.15 can't find libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 in Debian 5.0
I have installed seamonkey-1.1.15.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz in /usr/local/seamonkey/ on a new installation of Debian 5.0. Trying the first start as root, I get this error: ./seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file \ or directory locate libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.11 ls -l /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 ... /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 - libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.11 So, libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 is a link to libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.11, but Seamonkey cannot find it. There's no mention of libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 in /usr/local/seamonkey/, it only calls seamonkey-bin. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
