Though the contributions from Huw and Tet are interesting, they have
done nothing to answer this problem! Which seems to be something
fundamental on RedHat.

Other Redhat users might want to use the packaged SRPM from the mozilla
site. On the mozilla newsgroup, I see that someone else has exactly
the same issue with RedHat 8.0 (appended below)

Clearly, it isn't something specific to my setup, or RedHat version.

Are there any RedHat / experience rpm / mozilla user folks in here that
can throw up some cogent ideas to fix the problem with the new mozilla
package?

The issue is likely more fundamental - something to do with the RedHat
environment itself that is now a problem for 1.3

Here is the post from netscape.public.mozilla.browser:

I am having bit of a problem with upgrading to mozilla 1.3.
I have Redhat 8.0 and I had mozilla 1.2.1 installed on it. I tried
upgrading to 1.3 using both xft and gtk rpms.

The rpm upgrading goes ok, but then when I  start up mozilla, nothing
happens. No mozilla window appears or no mozilla process starts and
persists. It probably would have core dumped if i would change the
ulimit.

I also tried removing older .mozilla files, but nothing seems to work.
So I am back to good old 1.2.1. If anyone knows any information about
this, I would appreciate it.

                                  -=-=-=-

Help from folks with Redhat boxes would be appreciated, particularly if
you have the skills to investigate *why* mozilla 1.3 fails to run! I'll
post back to the mozilla group any viable fix that can be found, crediting
the LUG contributions ( if any ). I'm completely stumped. HELP!!!!!

TIA
