I believe the main file is: # ls -l /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.8/xpi_store/ total 840 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 852341 Mar 23 21:17 enigmail-0.95.6.xpi Also: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1842 Mar 23 20:45 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/components/enigmime.xpt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4353 Mar 23 20:45 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/components/enigmail.xpt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 181678 Mar 23 21:30 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/components/enigmail.js -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4545 Mar 23 21:30 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/components/enigprefs-service.js -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 902 Mar 23 21:18 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/chrome/enigmime.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 37485 Mar 23 21:18 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/chrome/enigmail-skin-tbird.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 820446 Mar 23 21:18 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/chrome/enigmail.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 91371 Mar 23 21:18 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/chrome/enigmail-en-US.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 36024 Mar 23 21:18 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/chrome/enigmail-skin.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2077883 Mar 23 21:18 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/chrome/enigmail-locale.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 6312 Mar 23 21:30 ./seamonkey-1.1.8/defaults/pref/enigmail.js However, the README.txt file still says: "Note: If you install in the default directory (which is usually /usr/local/mozilla), or any other directory where only the root user normally has write-access, you must start Mozilla first as root before other users can start the program. Doing so generates a set of files required for later use by other users." I don't know if this is still valid or not. It seems to work for me without doing that, but I have run previous versions as root and I have established settings in ~/.mozilla. > As best as I can tell, there is no way (at least I don't know how) > to install the Enigmail extension by non-root user. I've never tried to do this, but all of the above installs in DESTDIR if that is used in the make, ln, install, and cp commands. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
