Hi!
Over two weeks ago, I redid my Debian from scratch with a 64-bit
installation and using stable only. I was going to use its IceApe
(Debian's name for SeaMonkey), but it was way too old (v2.0.11 -- older
than the final .14 for v2.0.x and it was time to move onto v2.5 or
whatever the newest!).
I extracted the downloaded Mozilla's seamonkey-2.5.tar.bz2 copy into a
local custom directory. I was unable to run it:
$ pwd
/home/fool/bin/seamonkey2
$ ./seamonkey
./seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
$ ./seamonkey-bin
./seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ locate libdbus-glib-1.so.2
/usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2
/usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0
$ locate libxul.so
/home/fool/bin/seamonkey2/libxul.so
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/libxul.so
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2/libxul.so
What's the problem? Maybe I shouldn't use Mozilla's binary, but I could
not find an official Debian package of the latest SeaMonkey version. I
even checked in http://mozilla.debian.net/ (got its latest IceWeasel
(aka Firefox) v3.6.24 though), but it doesn't do IceApe/SeaMonkey. :(
Thank you in advance. :)
I don't know if this is any use to you, but here is a link to a PPA for
current releases of SeaMonkey for Ubuntu releases:
https://launchpad.net/~joe-nationnet/+archive/seamonkey-dev
I don't know how the Debian and Ubuntu releases map, but the downloads
are in .deb format. For example, looking at the natty release which I
am using I see the following available:
Built packages
seamonkey The Seamonkey Internet Suite
seamonkey-gnome-support Seamonkey client - GNOME support
Package files
seamonkey-gnome-support_2.5-0ubuntu1~natty_amd64.deb (8.9 KiB)
seamonkey-gnome-support_2.5-0ubuntu1~natty_i386.deb (8.9 KiB)
seamonkey_2.5-0ubuntu1~natty.diff.gz (75.6 KiB)
seamonkey_2.5-0ubuntu1~natty.dsc (1.7 KiB)
seamonkey_2.5-0ubuntu1~natty_amd64.deb (21.2 MiB)
seamonkey_2.5-0ubuntu1~natty_i386.deb (19.1 MiB)
seamonkey_2.5.orig.tar.gz (82.5 MiB)
Hopefully this is of some use to you. If it is not clear how to use
this immediately, I suggest you contact Joe, the maintainer of this PPA
via the launchpad contact. He responded quickly to me when I was
looking for a build for an older Ubuntu release and even added that to
his builds. If none of them will work for you at present he might be
willing to add one that will.
Dave
