Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040114
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0

> sudo -u root ./firefox-installer-bin 
All goes well until partway through install when GUI says:
    Fatal error [-618]; Couldn't open xpistub library.
and on CLI from which installer launched:

DLError: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Tried re-downloading installer (though tar hadn't complained on unpacking it
first time) and got exactly the same problem.

> md5sum xpi/xpcom.xpi

(using Firefox 0.8 or Mozilla)
2. tar -zxvf to unpack
3. sudo -u root ./firefox-installer-bin
