It got me going... sort of. Now I know why we don't have the latest seamonkey in the Gentoo tree. It requires >=dev-libs/nspr-4.9.3 and the highest ebuild of nspr in the tree is 4.9.2, even though I did an "emerge sync" today. So I'd have to build nspr and nss locally from tarballs, and then set .mozconfig's nspr-prefix and nss-prefix to the local copy... bleagh. I'll just wait until nspr gets at least a keyworded 4.9.3 in the tree. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
