Mozilla install error

[tharmsen]

I would like to appologize in advance for the newbie question. I am obviously new to Linux but I'm very interested in learning this OS.

While trying to install Mozilla 1.7 this morning I kept encountering problems with the install. Most of my original problems, and perhaps this one, were related to my account not having proper permission to access/create folders.

I figured out I could install Mozilla to my /home/<username> directory... or so I thought.

I got part of the way through the installation when I was given this error:



How may I correct the issue and continue with my install?

How can I give my user Admin rights so I can access all folders/files?

Thanks for the help in advance.

install mozilla from the root account. your user account will be able to use it after its on the system. as for changing file permissions, type man chmod and you can read up about permissions etc. on linux

Thanks for the reponse. I logged in as Root and started the install... and I got the same error message that's pictured in the image above.

Any ideas?

do you have that library on your system?...try typing find / | grep libxpistub, that should tell you if you have it or not. if you do, make sure that path is in /etc/ld.so.conf, if its not...add it in there and try again.

I just read that in order to use the installer you have to have a version of glibc C > 2.3 so type rpm -qa | grep glibc and post the output of that

Thanks for the help. It turns out I was running the mozilla-bin file which caused the error.

Silly mistake on my part.
