Well, I doubt this is an "approved" method, but I edit
/usr/bin/firefox at line 40 and change "/usr/lib64..." to
"/usr/notlib64." This fools the script into thinking there is no
64-bit firefox. The only problem with this is remembering to make the
change each time firefox is updated. The line number is from firefox
2.0 from the development repo. It may be different for firefox 1.5.
Just look for the lines like these:
if [ -x "/usr/notlib64/firefox-2.0.0.1/firefox-bin" ]
then
MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
If you're going to try something like this, may I point out that by
default /usr/local/bin is ahead of /usr/bin. So you can copy the file to
/usr/local/bin, make the changes there, and allow yum to update Firefox
at will. The only problem would be if the script changed incompatibly,
and that seems unlikely.
Hope this helps,
James.
