seamonkey installer bin will not oper in ubuntu desktop ver 7.10

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a
"regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this
bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries
nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other
bugs you may find.

Same problem here trying to uptade Seamonkey to version 1.1.12 from 1.1.9 on Ubuntu 8.04 amd64.

I wonder whether or not there's a solution to this issue.

You are talking about the installer, so I assume this is not about the Ubuntu package, right?
If this is indeed an upstream build, try to use the Ubuntu package instead so we can support you.
If you prefer the upstream build, then you should ask for help there. They have an IRC channel and a mailing list.

You also didn't provide enough information for us to help you. Please describe what you are trying to achieve (paste your error messages, or take a screenshot).

Thanks Fabien for your reply.

Here's the case:

I downloaded SeaMonkey from Ubuntu's repository, but it was version 1.1.9.

Every time I open SeaMonkey it shows me a warning message from SeaMonkey
website saying: "You're using an old stable version of SeaMonkey
(1.1.9), while we offer a newer version which contains important
security fixes".

I downloaded version 1.1.12 offered on the site and that's the one I
can't install due to the error showed on the attached image (the
non-English part states: "it's not possible to open shared objects file:
file or folder not found").

Is there a solution for that?

Thanks,

Marcelo Todaro

using the installer scrip from ubuntuzilla i was able to install seamonkey ok and everthing worked
in both ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 as well as doing the updates to seamonkey

It worked. Thanks Dave!

But hey! The installer downloaded from SeaMonkey website still has got a problem. Maybe developers sould have a loot at that.

Marcelo

Ops! New problem...

After the update SeaMonkey doesn't browse. Whatever the URL I try to open it always says it couldn't be found, even the ones on the personal toolbar by default. Never happened before the update.

Proxy setting is on "Direct connection to the Internet".

Tips?

Thanks!

please open one report per problem!

this bug should probably be forwarded if there is a solution that is not available upstream.

Thanks but the issue has been addressed with the launch of SeaMonkey
1.1.12 in Ubuntu's repository. No need for that buggy install file anymore.
