People,

I just downloaded and installed Seamonkey 2.15.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 and
it thinks it is version 2.13.2.  Very confusing.  Here is my
installation procedure:

jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ sudo tar -xjf
~/Downloads/seamonkey-2.15.1.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ seamonkey --version
Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.15.1
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ seamonkey &
[1] 23690
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ ls -l
/usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 132528 Jan 18 20:03 /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey
[1]+  Done                    seamonkey
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey
--versionMozilla SeaMonkey 2.15.1
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ seamonkey &
[1] 23731
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$ ls -l /usr/bin/seamonkey
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Nov  9 16:41 /usr/bin/seamonkey ->
/usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey
jeffsilverman@jeffsdesktop:~/Downloads$

However, when I go to the help menu and click on about, I get:

What have I done wrong, please?

Many thanks,

Jeff, you may not have done anything wrong, a couple of releases ago,
the SM was released without the version number being updated!!

Just to check, delete your SM installation and delete the file you
downloaded (??) from Ubuntu and go through the process again.

If you want, you can go direct to seamonkey-project.org direct and
download the file. That's what I do, I don't even know if MandrivaLinux
produce and release a modified version.


I find this the easiest way of running Seamonkey under Ubuntu. I too use Precise Pangolin (Ubuntu 12.04) and it's worked wonderfully so far:
