mozilla in redhat 9.0

[icronk]

I just upgraded Mozilla from 1.2 to 1.5 beta. I just started using Redhat a couple of months ago and I noticed that when using Mozilla 1.2 under redhat, the fonts and text look really nice and smooth. Of course when I upgraded Mozilla to 1.5 that nice look disapeared. I'd like to know what I can do to get it back and what exactly it is that makes it look so good compared to the usual look.
thanks

If installing from RPM, get the Xtf and gtk2 builds. Those contain that "nice font" look...I know I can't live without them :D

But I don't see any RPMs for 1.5 so I'll guess this is compiled...you will need compile it with the xtf options

thanks for the help. I think I might downgrade to 1.4 so I can get the smooth one.

Can't seem to find that rpm you're talking about, would this be it http://rpmseek.com/rpm/mozilla-1.4-12.i386.html?hl=com&cs=mozilla:PN:0:0:0:0:689530 (http://http://rpmseek.com/rpm/mozilla-1.4-12.i386.html?hl=com&cs=mozilla:PN:0:0:0:0:689530)

Ok, got the gtk2 rpm (1.4) from mozilla's ftp and found out that I needed mozilla-nspr 1.4 also. When I try and install the mozilla-nspr rpm it gives me this: Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/lib/libnspr4.so from install of mozilla-nspr-1.4-0 conflicts with file from package mozilla-nspr-1.2.1-26
file /usr/lib/libplc4.so from install of mozilla-nspr-1.4-0 conflicts with file from package mozilla-nspr-1.2.1-26
file /usr/lib/libplds4.so from install of mozilla-nspr-1.4-0 conflicts with file from package mozilla-nspr-1.2.1-26

So I tried to rpm -e mozilla-nspr to remove the older version and it tells me: error: Failed dependencies:
mozilla-nspr = 1.2.1-26 is needed by (installed) mozilla-1.2.1-26
mozilla-nspr = 1.2.1-26 is needed by (installed) mozilla-nss-1.2.1-26

Not sure if thats the way I should go about it but it didn't work anyway. As far as I know, the mozilla installer for 1.5 upgraded my existing 1.2 version. I didn't remove the older version first so maybe they're both still there.

I'm totally lost here, not a linux guru, just a user. Need some help.
Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks.

RPM is telling you that if you remove mozilla-nspr, mozilla-1.2 won't work. Unfortunately, conflicting RPMS can be difficult to sort out. Try removing both the 1.5 and 1.2 RPMs, then mozilla-nspr, and then installing 1.5 again.

remove all your Mozilla RPMs

rpm -qa|grep mozilla
to find them and then

rpm -e mozilla-nspr-1.4-0 mozilla-mail-1.4-0 mozilla-1.4-0 mozilla-chat-1.4-0 mozilla-psm-1.4-0 mozilla-nss-1.4-0
(replace the 1.4-0 with 1.2.1-26)

Then try to install Mozilla again


or


use the rpm -U to upgrade installed packages

Ahh...... nice smooth text again. Glad thats over with, can't live without it. Thanks for all the help, I just removed all of the 1.2 packages also had to remove galeon and removed the 1.5b packages then installed the 1.4.
thanks again.
