Does this make sense?

Okay, so this is what I did to install Mozilla .9.5. Unfortunately, it did not turn out quite as I expected.

1. downloaded tarball and placed in folder ~/Downloads/Mozilla
2. untarred the file into folder ~/Downloads/Mozilla/mozilla
3. created directory /usr/share/mozilla
4. su root
5. ran ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mozilla --exec-prefix=/usr/share/mozilla
6. ran make
7. ran make install
8. everthing was installed into the directory ~/Downloads/Mozilla/mozilla/dist

I tried created a symlink from the ./dist/bin/mozilla binary, but I could not run the link; A message with some dependencies was displayed, so I symlinked them as well, but I can only run it from the original directory.Does anyone know why It did not install into the directory I specified, and why I cannot symlink (or hardlink) the binary files successfully? :confused:

I'm not sure the answer.

But since it's not in your path what I would do is create a small script that starts mozilla up from the dir.

echo /path/to/mozilla/mozilla > /usr/bin/mozilla

chmod +x /usr/bin/mozilla

something like that.

I was thinking of doing that exact thing, however, I was hopng there was some way to install it into the correct directory.. Neat freak that I am :)

Thanks for the help
