Re: firefox help
I'm a newbie who is trying to install a recent release of firefox under version 4.9 of FreeBSD. I downloaded the installer (for linux since there doesn't appear to be a FreeBSD version, yet) from Mozilla, but when I try to execute it, I get the message error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0. I've tried finding a package that includes this library, but haven't been successful. Can somebody help? The method I used was: # cd /usr/ports/www/firefox # make # make install I first updated my ports tree though. Everything went perfectly slick.

You will want to use the ports. man ports for more details. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html is a nice way to find software from the web. One port you will probally want to look into is portinstall. It simplifies install and upgrading The problem with installing software that way is it can screw up future upgrades and/or installs and/or builds. Because of that, it is generally best to avoid it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
