Firefox 2.0.0.3 install problem

[Brian Wright_4]

has anyone managed to run firefox 2.0.0.3 on hpux 11.11 . Had the previous version running sweet... ver. 1.5.0.8 I think.

when i try to run firefox 2.0.0.3...keep getting....

./run-mozilla.sh: ./firefox-bin: Execute permission denied.

tried changing permissions on the above file ...but no difference...is ver 2.0.0.3 supported on hpux ??

I've got 1.5.0.1 running fine and I see HP is now offering 1.5.0.8. Where did you get the 2.0.0.3 version?

downloaded from the mozilla site & selected the .tar.gz download under Linux i686...but if you look under "Known Issues" in the release notes for 2.0.0.3 it refers to linux AND unix...see

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.3/releasenotes/

so I'm not sure if this is for Linux only or if it lends itself to other flavours of unix...

Did you get the source and compiled it?

that kinda thing is outa my league I'm afraid...was just following the install instructions from the mozilla site...If you've managed to get it to work, I'll give it a try if you can tell me how...

thanks

Did you try to run the linux binaries? How did you unpack the rpm's?

I'm not sure about what you did.

I would try http://www.hp.com/go/firefox
even it is not version 2.xx

Shalom,

Much better to use an HP-UX approved depot install.

I love Firefox 2.x and use it on my Ubuntu box. It really helps cut down on itrc posting typos

You'll be better off however to wait for HP to provide you a port that works on HP-UX. Trust me.
