Hi Carl,
After a lot of trials, I succeed with Firefox and Thunderbird.
First I've to tell you that I use to manage RPMs and tarballs and that I
have no
permissions problems. Very often I use tarballs when no RPM is
available, and
I like to choose my compilations options.
So I used the French Firefox tarball, not the SuSE rpm, because I have
better to speak French !
If I install it (as root) in a folder where I don't have (as user) the
write permission, I get
the same warnings that with the RPM (!) but it works. If I link the
libraries as you told me
and if I add my path ( I choosed /usr/local/firefox) in /etc/ld.so.conf
and run ldconfig,
I'm able to use the plugins.
Same I copied (no install needed) French Thunderbird in folder
/usr/local/thunderbird, add the path
in /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root (absolutely necessary or
thunderbird doesn't find the
libraries, I have no "segmentation fault", but if I accept to import the
mozilla mail and parameters
Thunderbird crashes !! So I'd to recreate all my mail RSS and news
accounts !
In fine, now I'm able to share Thunderbird folders with native Windows
XP or with Windows XP guest
with VMware and my mail RSS and news are always synchronized.
Thanks again for your help.
Michel.
