Someone, somewhere, must have solved this: How do I get a working Firefox 3 on Redhat Enterprise 4?

The usual Googling has so far been of no help.

Can't you just download

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.6.6.tar.bz2

and untar ?

I'm guessing this is for flame?

I actually contacted autodesk about updating the glibc in order to update firefox a while ago, I was advised not to do it.

Take out of that what you will.

You do understand how important glibc is to a Linux system, right?

Oh absolutely, but I didn't know if it was a dependency for Flame. Apparently it is, hence me not updating it.

This is fixable as per Todd Smith's email yesterday.? Here's what I did on my boxes; may or may not work for you exactly as written, depending on what packages you've already got installed.

mkdir firefox

cd firefox

wget 'ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/evolution28*rpm'

wget ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/nss-3.12.2.0-4.el4.centos.i386.rpm

wget ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/nspr-4.7.3-1.el4.i386.rpm

wget ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/prelink-0.3.3-1.EL4.i386.rpm

wget ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/firefox-3.0.7-3.el4.centos.i386.rpm

rpm -e seamonkey gaim seamonkey-nspr seamonkey-nss devhelp seamonkey-dom-inspector gaim seamonkey-js-debugger devhelp-devel seamonkey-nspr-devel seamonkey-nss-devel seamonkey-devel seamonkey-chat

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
