Missing a library to run SeaMonkey

[gymnart]

I've just updated my system from SuSE 11.2 to 11.4 (I'm using KDE desktop environment)

I like to install SeaMonkey myself. I use the installer from the Mozilla site. When I try to run SeaMonkey, this is what happens:

./seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Where do I get the missing library? I've tried searching for it on the rpmpbone site RPM Search and even they couldn't find it.

Did you try in YaST?

Search for dbus-1-glib, or dbus-1-glib-32 if you need the 32 bit version.

Problem solved. I'm now happily running SeaMonkey. ^_^
YaST showed that I had the library but not the development one. So, I installed that one too and that did the job!

Interesting. I don't have the development one installed and my SeaMonkey 2.1b3 installed from the tarball works fine.

Maybe it is needed for openSUSE 11.4 or KDE.

Glad it works for you. Happy surfing!

I'm confused too. Maybe it was a KDE thing or a SuSE 11.4 thing. If you do upgrade to 11.4, be expecting this then. Maybe it won't happen with Gnome, who knows?
I'm using SeaMonkey 2.0.13.
