AIX

Hi folks,

I don't post here much, I am more of a lurker

I have recently installed firefox for AIX on my IntelliStation POWER 185 workstation. I am currently running 6.1 with all latest updates (as of today) applied. All prerequisites for firefox installed successfully.

When I try to execute firefox under my account, nothing happens, just back to #. When I try to execute as root, just to test, I get (firefox-bin:450796): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
or
/usr/mozilla/firefox/run-mozilla.sh[36]: 454904 Illegal instruction (coredump)

any ideas what is wrong, or at least where to look to find what is wrong?

Thanks,
Justin

Hi
Have you make test ?
I think that it can work the library at build is not type shared (as include)
This binary version run well AIX 4.3.3 , 5.1. 5.2 , 5.3 (Kernel 32)
AIX 6 or 6.1 I dont know ,i not have AIX 6.1 to make test
Is easy and interesting that to make test to comfirm that is nor running
Also: 6.1 is beta version as can download ???
Best regards
