163420 - Mozilla 1.1b Installer won't install on SuSE Linux 7.1

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Wilbur Killebrew]

This command was executed from a KDE 2.0 Xterm on SuSE Linux 7.1.  Moz 1.1a (and
previous versions) installed with no problem.  This error indicates permission
problems; in this case root isn't permitted to run this script or program, or at
least one of its components.  I put moz in /opt many versions back because I'm
low on room in /usr.  This new installer doesn't like symlinks either.

This is for the talkback version.

This is doesn't look like a mozilla bug..

This means that root is not authorized to connect to the running X Server

running 'xhost +' should solve your problem (note: this may be a security-risk
.. read 'man xhost' for more information)

Did it solve your problem?
thx

"xhost localhost" should be sufficient in most cases."xhost +" gives everyone
and everything access to your X-Server. Please mark this bug WorksForMe after
being succesful.
