Hello. I don't know if anyone has found this problem before but the
comments in the run-mozilla.sh script said to post ideas for
improvements to these groups, so here it is...
After installing netscape 7.1 I tried running it by typing "./netscape".
I kept getting "dirname: too many arguments". The "netscape" script uses
"dirname" three times but the problem didn't seem to be here. I followed
the execution flow into the "run-mozilla.sh" script and found only one
"dirname" on line 58, and here is the problem. Line 58 has:
MOZ_DIST_BIN=`dirname $0`
This needs to be:
MOZ_DIST_BIN=`dirname "$0"`
The reason I got the error was because the path I installed netscape in
("/usr/internet/browsers/netscape 7.1") has a space in it. So this
modification to the "run-mozilla.sh" script will probably be of use to
other people.
Not bad for a linux newbie who can't write perl, or whatever this
scripting is. Still, being a talented programmer does help. :) I even
got a samba network up and running, even with having to compile from
source. I'm having a damn good day today. Hehe
Anyway, hope this script alteration is useful to some people.
