i've installed mozilla Firefox but when i try to run it from the terminal i get this error message:" error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "
i 've seen that the libXft.so.2 "thing" is included at some Xfree86... dependencies but it seems that everything concerning XFree86 is installed at my workstation.Any help?

rpm -q libXft

I install Firefox on Suse 9.1 and it works fine but I was looknig for the web composer so I downloaded the mozilla RMP for Suse 9.1 and installed it with Yast2 but I don't get the Icon, I have to go trought the terminal and then choose the composer.

What I am missing to get the program Icons for mozilla. All I want really is the composer since I use firefox for the web.

Thanks!

Problem fix, I downloaded an other RPM and I now have the composer icon and everything works great.

Cheers!
