Last night, I clicked Help->Check for updates and updated my Win7
SeaMonkey installation, but tonight, when I've tried to update my Linux
version (see above), I getting told the Update Failed and that it Failed
(unknown reason). Then the screen says I can download SM manually from
the web site.
Anybody else getting this, or know how I can fix whatever problem I've
got!!
After two days of trying, and failing to get an update, I've now
downloaded the 64bit update. Not sure if it is the straight x86_64 or
the i685 on x64_86 version (suspect the later) and it should be
installed when I boot up again later today!!
If the update fails, I've also downloaded the full version tonight, as well!
Daniel,
This has been explained you you previously, but I'll try to explain one
more time. Apologies as I should have noticed earlier.
You are running the 32bit version of SeaMonkey on a 64bit linux. Just to
show you I'm posting this from the same:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:15.0)
Gecko/20120826 Firefox/15.0 SeaMonkey/2.12
about:buildconfig
Build Machine
sea-vm-linux32-1
Source
Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/a347058c607a
Build platform
target
i686-pc-linux-gnu
Now I'll save this as a 'draft', enable the 64bit version and finish the
post.
OK, now back on SeaMonkey 2.12 from a 64bit build:
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120826
Firefox/15.0 SeaMonkey/2.12
about:buildconfig
Build Machine
cb-seamonkey-linux64-01
Source
Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/450143d2d810
Build platform
target
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
See the difference?
Now, you can stay on the 32bit version - it won't hurt & will work - or
you can use the 64bit version. To be honest, I've not tested the 32bit
on a 64bit machine to compare the differences. So I can't tell you which
is better. However you *need* to understand the version that you are
running is 32bit, it is *not* the 64bit version.
If you want to run the 64bit version you will need to use the
contributed build, and you will not, repeat *not* get any updates
(notifications or otherwise).

OT: previously Barry Edwin Gilmour (the same Fairfax photographer that
recorded Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin moon landings on film) used to
build 64bit linux directly. Unfortunately I've not seen a post by Barry
in seamonkey dev since around Sept 2011... I hope he's OK.
Correction Gary!
Just to update the group ~ I'm nothing special...
I am not the same Fairfax photographer that
recorded Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin moon landings on film.
Also, It's been a while since I built 64bit nightlies from source.
I now simply download the 64bit Linux nightly trunk build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-central-trunk/
or
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/tinderbox-builds/comm-central-trunk-linux64/
which I use in my day to day environment, as do many others in this group.
I just haven't had anything worthwhile to contribute lately. HTH. Barry.
