| Q wrote: | Where does the firebird ebuild put the mozilla that it downloads?
I had mozilla 1.4a installed prior to installing firebird. When I run mozilla the mozilla start page still detects the browser as 1.4a. I am pretty sure that firebird did grab mozilla 1.4b. |
From the ebuild:
| Code: | # Where do you want to go today ?
FIREBIRD_PATH="/usr/lib/mozillafirebird"
|
So if you still have /usr/lib/mozilla unmerge mozilla and firebird. After that, re-emerge firebird and it should work. |

After deleting tons of whitespace, here is my copy of the ebuild:
http://www.geocities.com/fakuban/mozillafirebird-cvs-0.6.2003.05.25.ebuild.txt
It installed for me, so maybe it will work for you. Just make sure to remove the *.txt extension (geocities wouldn't accept it as a *.ebuild).

| If copy and past is such a prolbem can't just the ebuild be linked/attaced in a correct file? |

i've tried everything, deleted everything related to mozilla and phoenix, recompiled many times with different flags for i686 or pentium3, -03 -02 -0s, commenting out -strip-flags, compiling from tenpin's post, and the ebuild on the first page of this forum, no compile errors from what i notice, but if xft is enabled, i can only run as root
this must be it because tenpin's .mozconfig settings don't include xft and it runs as a regular user, i added --enable-xft and export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT=1 to tenpin's .mozconfig and it acts like the ebuild does, runs only as root, even though both MozillaFirebird-bin's have the same permissions. |

This is caused by a permission problem with your fonts. Make sure everyone can read your fonts directories/files. |

yeah, um portage? get it in there...
although according to those running breakmygentoo.net, the gentoo devs no longer want alot of CVS/unstable stuff in the portage tree, which i dont understand because anything ~x86 is assumed to be 'use at your own risk'... |

I just got this error after compiling phoenix-cvs:
/usr/bin/phoenix: line 16: /usr/lib/phoenix/phoenix: No such file or directory
I just changed a couple lines in the phoenix bash script to point to MozillaFirebird instead of phoenix and it worked. Why isn't this updated? |

Yes, I get that as well. Then I go to /usr/lib/phoenix and find MozillaFirebird file that expects MozillaFirebird-bin(in the same directory) to be in /usr/lib/mozilla(which exists). Running MozillaFirebird-bin just segfaults.

Ohoy
I used Mozilla before using MozillaFirebird, in Mozilla flash and java worked great. Now when I use MozillaFirebird java and flash doesnt work 
Thought the automatic plugin download thingy comes up, not sure if it works, I tried it with java en when the download was done it gave me error about access denied |

make sure you have blackdown-jre installed then make a symlink
| Code: |
ln -s /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozillafirebird/plugins/javaplugin_oji.so |

Or:
| Code: | # cd ${MozillaFirebird}
# rm plugins/ -R
# ln -s /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins |
All plugins you were using with mozilla should be available now.[/code] |

Looks like this is fixed in -r3 of mozilla-firebird. |
