My guess is that you don't have the 64 bit libaoss.so installed - which will be at /usr/lib64/libaoss.so (or you have the 64 libaoss.so in /usr/lib) Even if your firefox binary is 32 bit, the wrapper scripts will be run through a 64 bit shell, so it is probably the script shell that is complaining it can't find /usr/lib64/libaoss.so ('$LIB' gets expanded by ld.so to be 'lib' or 'lib64' depending on the binary being linked) James Pearson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
