Linux

I am trying to install 2 programs: Mozilla and/or Opera. For Mozilla, I am
following the instructions all the way up to when I run the following
command:

../mozilla-installer

When I run the above command, I get the following message:

error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory


When I go to install Opera, after running the tar command, I go to the new
folder and run the following command(s)

../opera

I get this:

error while loading shared libraries: libqt.so.3: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory



It looks like the issue is one in the same. I am new to Linux and do not
have a clue as to what is going on. I am used to just chostinghostinghostinghostinging on setup and
"bam" the program is installed.

I am using ArkLinux which I believe is built on Red hat.

In your response if someone could give me a step by step instruction on how
to resolve this, I can start taping my hair back in place

Hmmmmm.... not sure about ./mozilla-installer but both cases sound like
you needed to configure and install the source first.

Did you
cd to mozilla
gzip -d mozilla-1.5.????
tar -xvf mozilla-1.5.???

cd mozilla-1.5.????
./configure
make
sudo make install

Otherwise you need install libgtk-1.2 or later from your ArkLinux

As I say I think these are the same issues. If you configured, make, make
install or rpm'd these packages the you still need to rpm install
libgtk-1.2 or later.

Didn't you already ask this question? Did you multi-post instead of
cross-post?

Multi-post: Post an identical individual messages in several newsgroups.
This is bad, people replying to a message won't see the other replies in
the other newsgroups and may give identical responses.

Cross-post: Post the same message to several newsgroups so that it is
linked. This is good because people replying in one newsgroup will be
seen in the other newsgroups as well. Try to limit the number of groups,
any more than 3-4 would be considered excessive.
