Re: Can't install FireFox On Linux

A lot of people seem to be having this problem with the new FF release. I haven't had this problem so I can't test for myself, but it seems you just need to obtain libpangocairo.

Depending on your distro and architecture, there are different ways to find this.

You could get the source and compile it youself here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libpango1.0-0

I also found Fedora's list:
http://rpm2html.osmirror.nl/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.html

It's just a matter of searching for the right one.

Re: Can't install FireFox On Linux

If you want to install source packages (whether just source code, SRPMS, etc) you need to have gcc installed. I haven't used a Red Hat based distribution in several years, but yum was the command line package manager. I don't know if they've put in a graphical one yet. Whatever they have now, use the package manager to install gcc.

Re: Can't install FireFox On Linux

yum update (this will update any packages on your computer that can be and should resolve the problem) before you do this I suggest you add the livna repository if you haven't already. if you are using a different third party repo just do yum update

to add livna (if you haven't) as root:

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

Re: Can't install FireFox On Linux

As root, run (drop the quotes):

"yum -y install pango.i386"

If you are running a 64 bit version run instead:

yum -y install pango.x86_64

If you need other libraries run:

yum list | grep -i <libraryYouNeed>

This will list the libraries real name. Then run the "yum -y install <LibraryName>". The "grep -i" means ignore the upper or lower case requirements. Yum will install library dependencies if necessary.
