I also see this with the latest trunk nightly (dated 30-Oct-2004 11:52):
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-i686-linux-gtk2+xft-installer.tar.gz

I get "DLError: libxpcom_core.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory" on the console when running the installer.
