Thanks FRG. It's X64. The library is already installed
[quote] apt-get install libxcomposite1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libxcomposite1 is already the newest version. libxcomposite1 set to manually installed.

The error actually is: >> libXcomposite.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory x64 or x86 Seamonkey? So if the library is not installed try: apt-get install libxcomposite1 64-bit (installing the x86 version): apt-get install libxcomposite1:i386 and see if the error goes away.
