The rpms are from fedora-extras. The rpms install in /usr directories
while the installer puts the files it uses in /usr/local. Since they are
located in different directories, they do not clobber each other. I have
run with netscape, mozilla and seamonkey installations with the packages
that are contained in rpms without interference. They do use the same
files under the ~/.mozilla directory and it does not seem to cause any
problems.
Well from my experience you can have even say mozilla 1.7.10 and
seamonkey 1.0.4 installed in two different directories (
/usr/local/mozilla & /usr/local/seamonkey ) they will nicely share the
same stuff under the ~/.mozilla and they will both work like a charm
without any sign of conflict .
Chances are then that the rpm version would error on an FC4 system too.
See above , if you wish i can test it .
If you are curious or want to confirm the error, you can.
This much i have found . First of i tried to download the *.tar.bz2
file and then build the *.rpm but that scenario failled . Later i
tried to install seamonkey with "yum install seamonkey" it downloaded
the thing from download.fedora.redhat.com , then it installed it but
popped out the error messages in the attached file . Other than that
if you get this email then it means that the rpm installed seamonkey
works . Indeed as you described things the errors stated in the
attached file are coming from SELinux .
Thanks for revealing that you are using the installer version.
Well it was my mistake not to reveal from the very first moment that
am using the installer version ( in fact i have always done so , due to
PSTN restrictions ( yum update is problematic when someone downloads
with a maximum speed of 5,5 KB/sec ) .
That would present quite a problem. If you will be charged for the
download, it is not important to test.
For the last couple of months i have a DSL connection so the slow
download speed and the cost are no more a problem . I told you that in
an effort to justify that i prefered the installer version rather than
yum. Well i have to admit that am not such a fun of the automatic
procedures , i prefer the manual way , whenever i can .
The installer version is pretty much the same minus the SELinux errors.
(Nothing wrong with the installer version, it worked fine the last
time I installed it)
This has been my experience too ( Fedora Core 4 ).
I used the installer version of mozilla before Red Hat adopted mozilla
over netscape version 4.x. It was only available via the installer at
that time. It seems strange that now mozilla is being removed from the
next fedora version, seamonkey (mozilla continued) is going to fedora
extras and firefox and thunderbird are now adopted by Red Hat.
Well i became quite used to seamonkey/mozilla name it whatever ( the
full suite ) so am not using firefox and thunderbird . Even if the
Fedora Development team drops mozilla i will still continue to download
the installer version and install it for as long as it exists .
