Well,
Installing from the .gz didn't help. I uninstalled the version that
came in the rpm format then I installed from the .gz to the default
/usr/local/mozilla. I added this to the path in /etc/bashrc so
everyone would see this directory from the icons already pointing to
'mozilla' on the Gnome menus. When I run this as root or su Mozilla
comes up without a problem. When I run this a normal user I get the
same error: 'Segment fault'. The only difference is that the error is
more descriptive:
/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/plugins
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/components
SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
LIBPATH=/usr/local/mozilla
ADDON_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
MOZ_PROGRAM=/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin
MOZ_TOOLKIT=
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=
/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 2937 Segmentation fault
$prog${1+"@"}
Does anyone know what is going on here?????
