Details

On my Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato), I am having trouble running Mozilla. When I untar Mozilla 0.8.1 under /usr/local/mozilla, and run ./mozilla, the program doesn't start. Further investigation has shown that the ./mozilla-bin script is failing: ./mozilla-bin: error in loading shared libraries: libgkgfx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Adding /usr/local/mozilla to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig has stopped that error message from appearing (not a good way to solve the problem, though), but Mozilla still fails to run. I have also tried with some older daily snapshots.
adding /usr/local/mozilla to for instance .bash_profile or similar does the trick. However: I never had problems running from other dir's.. without any path statements. Is your current working directory /usr/local/mozilla when you write ./mozilla ? When starting mozilla first time: Does the user you run it as have write-access in /usr/local/mozilla ? (See release-notes and bug 49345)
Reporter did that fix the problem?
