Fixing Mozilla on Solaris Express 2/05
I mentioned the other day that there was a well used script that does not (yet) deal with uname -r returning 5.10.1.
You guessed it, the script in question is /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla.
The bug1 has the effect that if you double click on the mozilla icon, nothing happens. If you try to run mozilla, you get it telling you:
Mozilla 1.7 requires Solaris 8 or later
Fortunately this is pretty easy to fix.
On lines 217-218 of /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla, you will see the following:
case "$OS_VERSION" in
"5.8" | "5.9" | "5.10" ) ;;
Simply change this to read :
case "$OS_VERSION" in
"5.8" | "5.9" | "5.10" | "5.10.1") ;;
I believe the real fix will be to remove this code entirely and has been done for build 10.
