installing firefox update on suse 10.0

[jgtkhalsa]

When I download the new release of firefox-2.0.tar.gz I can't figure out how to install it. The Linux instructions that I find do not work. I use suse 10.0.

GURU has a .rpm already made for FF 2.0-32 hosted in their repository. You can install it with that, and it works just fine.

But does anyone else have an actual answer as to how you install those .tar.gz files? Following the instructions for them never worked for me either...

the way you install a tar is: tar -zxvf then the address where the tar is located.
Now a tar.bz you have to bunzip2 1lv then the address where the tar.bz is located

If I remember correctly...

login as root
move the tar.bz file to the /usr/lib
cd to the /usr/lib director
then un tar it with the tar -zxvf [filename]
you're upgraded

I downloaded the FF 2.0-32 from GURU. A window came up for the software installer, and I clicked it to install and got this error message:

Download the 'mozilla-nspr-4.6.3-6.1.i586.rpm' file from that same directory, and install that.

Then use whatever package installer that you use (be it the one in YaST or SMART), do a search for 'MozillaFirefox-translations', and delete it (the version for 1.5.0.7). Then your FF 2.0 rpm will install with no dependancy issues.

After the 2.0 installation, download the 'MozillaFirefox-translations-2.0-32.1.i586.rpm' file from the GURU repository, and install that.

mozilla-nspr-4.6.3-6.1.i586.rpm downloaded and installed without a hitch. I deleted the translations file with YaST2. I then went to the previously downloaded FF 2.0-32.1.i586.rpm and attempted to install it again, and got the error message:

mozilla-nspr-4.6.3-6.1.i586.rpm downloaded but when I rpm'd it got this error msg:

file /usr/lib/libnspr4.so from install of mozilla-nspr-4.6.3-6.1 conflicts with file from package mozilla-nspr-4.6.1-22.2

I deleted the translations file with YaST2, but when I tried installing again the upgrade I still got the error:

error: Failed dependencies:
mozilla-nspr >= 4.6.3 is needed by MozillaFirefox-2.0-37.1.i586

Thanks for any help
