151503 - cannot find mozilla runtime directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57866

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Stephen Riehm]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061108

If mozilla is installed in such a way that the 'mozilla' script is symbolically
linked to a directory in the user's path (ie: /usr/local/bin/mozilla ->
/opt/mozill-1.0/mozilla) then the script can't find the runtime directory properly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install mozilla
2.link the mozilla script into a public directory (ie: /usr/local/bin, or /tmp
for test purposes)
3.start mozilla using the symbolic link

Actual Results:  "Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting."
exit 1

Expected Results:  mozilla should run :-)

Solution: I have a patch for the script which searches the user's path if
mozilla is started without any path information, I'll try to attach it.
