Hello,
Is it possible to run Firefox 3 in Debian Etch? I'm on KDE. It
complains about the GTK version. I have the 2.8 installed and it

Thx,
Yes, that's possible. I'm running FX3.0rc2 right now.
As Mess-mate said, you need to compile gtk2.10 yourself. When you
compile gtk2.10, don't let it install itself to the default locations
in /usr/local, because that might mess things up for other programs.
Putting gtk2.10 in /opt is good, or you can put it in an exotic place
under /usr/local (etc. /usr/local/exotic).
If gtk2.10 is allowed to install its libraries in the default location
of /usr/local/lib, it might confuse some programs looking for gtk2.8.
After you've gotten gtk2.10 installed, you might need to give FX a
little hint on where it can find the latest gtk2 libraries on your
system. Create a wrapper script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that
Firefox can find the correct version of gtk, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
# My wrapper script
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/exotic/lib
~/path/to/my/firefox/installation/firefox/firefox
Hey guys,
I got it! I had to install the right version of Cairo. It works like a
charm now.
Your directives were exact!
Thx,
