 I rebuilt it for x86_64.
 The SRPM initially came from a link on the seamonkey web site, I think.

 you can grab it here - it should be there in an hour when the server syncs:

 Many thanks! That baby has been rebuilt on this machine and I'll install
 it later, after running a couple of errands.

O.K., errands finished, the rebuilt rpm installed using yum --nogpgcheck 
localupdate /path/to/rpm with no problems, no dependencies.  Mail, 
preferences, plugins and helpers work as far as I've tested.  And email 
address hinting is fixed! Many thanks..

I am glad to hear this, but it really would have been a whole lot
simpler just to install the official release tarball

you're welcome, glad it helped!

rpmbuild --rebuild isn't so complicated, and I find having almost 
everything in rpms is comfortable.
Also, once the rpm is built on one system you can install it everywhere. 
That can be very convenient, depending on how many desktops/laptops you 
have.

That, plus, if there are any unsatisfied dependencies, they'll get 
pulled in
from trusted repos.
I'll admit that that is probably unlikely with an updated
CentOS 5 and Seamonkey, but having been burned really bad, trying to cram
CUPS into RedHat 7.2, I try to avoid tarballs unless they're part of a
well-documented procedure such as that published by ATI (AMD) for their
proprietary video drivers. Even then, I elect to create an RPM and
install it.
Old farts gather a lot of paranoias, Marc. Thanks for pushing me off
TDC, though, and thanks even more for the hung sound info!

[CentOS] CentOS 5 and seamonkey

2010-05-28 Thread Robert
Has anyone had any success in rebuilding seamonkey 2.0.4 for CentOS 5 
(32-bit)?  I'm currently running seamonkey-2.0-1 which I rebuilt last 
November. Sadly, I have no idea where the SRPM originated.
I found  seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm and 
seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm, downloaded and got to 0th base:

[...@madeleine Downloads]$ rpmbuild --rebuild
seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm
Installing seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm
warning: InstallSourcePackage: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature:
NOKEY, key ID 57bbccba
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root

/home/rj/rpmbuild/SOURCES/find-external-requires;4c000273: cpio: MD5
sum mismatch
error: seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm cannot be installed

So, have md5sum or cpio been changed?  Mine should be the latest from 
CentOS:

  [...@madeleine Downloads]$ rpm -q coreutils
coreutils-5.97-23.el5_4.2.i386
[...@madeleine Downloads]$ rpm -q cpio
cpio-2.6-23.el5_4.1.i386

Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

BTW, the reason I'm after 2.0.4 is that a friend tells me that he's 
using 2.0.4 under Windows XP and that it does NOT have the problem with 
the email address completion that I see and that he also saw until he 
upgraded his.


Pointers, clues, URLs and remarks about my sanity are equally welcome at

I'm curious as to why you want to rebuild Seamonkey at all.  You can
get the official 2.0.4 release directly from mozilla.org, and it comes
in 32 and 64 bit versions (AFAICT).  You can also get mainline and
beta sources from them, if you really want to build it yourself, but
there's no need or that.

I'm running Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686
(x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SeaMonkey/2.0.4 from the
seamonkey-2.0.4.tar.bz2 I downloaded from mozilla.org.  Works fine on
my Athlon II X4 system.

Caveat: I've had an issue with both Seamonkey and Firefox for a long
time now because they both have a tendency to lose audio-video sync on
flash videos after the browser has been running for a long period of
time, usually a day or two.  I have a bugzilla report in to them, and
it's not fixed yet in the latest releases of either one.

HTH.

Yeah, I've been to mozilla.org a couple times today, but I have tried to
avoid installing from a tarball.  I'm paranoid enough about installing from
3rd party RPM repos.

THANKS for that information.  That is an annoyance I've been putting up with
for a long time -- and I thought I was the only person having the problem.

Well, okay, but if you trust their product and you trust their source,
why wouldn't you trust their official release tarballs?  You can
always install it as a non-root user and test it out before putting it
into /opt (or wherever you prefer) as root.

If you would like to weigh in on this, it bug # 465788 at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/.  If I'm not the only one seeing it,
that might inspire them to devote more resources to fixing it.  Anyone
else, feel free to chime in there, too (but only if you ARE seeing the
problem, please :-).
