181483 - Mozilla 1.2b will not launch with default permissions for Components directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 163524

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Matt Fago]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

Installed 1.2b: untarred and ran installer as root. Ran "script" in installation
notes. I have "export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla" in .bashrc.

Moz worked fine as root, but typing "./mozilla" as another user resulted in
_nothing_ happening. Uncommenting "set x" in script did not show any differences
between root and non-root user.

I finally tracked it down to incorrect (?!) permissions for the components
subdirectory: "chmod a+x components" did the trick.

So what did I do wrong? Couldn't find a duplicate report ...
