Unable to install Firefox

[trs79]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to FreeBSD, I tried to install Firefox via:

pkg_add -r firefox

When I try to launch firefox3 I get this error:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 not found, required by "firefox-bin"

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

That mean that your system miss libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0!
Did you install some pkg From the ports?

well as I was installing Firefox (through pkg_add) it looks like it was trying to pull in gtk as a dependancy but I think it got interrupted. I just went into the gtk20 ports directory, then did a make deinstall and make reinstall now Firefox works

Well done! You fix it by your self.
