Hi Al, To be honest I found it was better to simply cgrab the source and compile it by hand then install it. If you already have gnome development installed then you should be set to compile it yourself.
1. I removed the Fedora Mozilla rpms. 2. Downloaded the Sun Mozilla source from: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/accessibility/sun-mozilla-1.7/ 01-31-2005/src/ 3. Extracted the tarball. 4. Did a cd in to the mmozilla-1.7 directory and ran configure. Configur using the following settings prefix /usr toolkit gtk2 accessibility enabled 5. Mrun make to build. 6. If it was compiled correctly, I did make install and everything was set to go. if you have any problems figuring out the configure options do a: ./configure --help That will show you all the options. However, the ones you need to worry about is prefix accessibility and the default toolkit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Puzzuoli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gnome Accessibility List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 10:08 PM Subject: Installing accessible version of Sun Mozilla 1.7? > Hello, > > I am attempting to get this up and running but have a few newbie questions: > > 1.
