Can't launch firefox
Hi all,

I installed RHEL on my machine and realized that firefox browser was not
included at installation. I went back and added it using the Add or Remove
Packages by inserting the dvd I used during installation. The icon is there
but for some reason I cannot lauch. Nothing returns when I click.

Can someone tell me what I am missing, or what could be wrong.
What log can I tail to see what the problem is ?
Am I better off reinstalling Linux ?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

PMDAPDNS(1)						       Performance Co-Pilot						       PMDAPDNS(1)

NAME

       pmdapdns - PowerDNS performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdapdns is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the PowerDNS authorative daemon as well as the
       recursive resolver.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the PowerDNS performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/pdns
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/pdns
	       # ./Remove

       pmdapdns is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/pdns/Install
	   installation script for the pmdapdns agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/pdns/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdapdns agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/pdns.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdapdns

SEE ALSO

       pmcd(1), pdns_control(8), and rec_control(1).
