Has anyone had any success in rebuilding seamonkey 2.0.4 for CentOS 5 (32-bit)? I'm currently running seamonkey-2.0-1 which I rebuilt last November. Sadly, I have no idea where the SRPM originated. I found seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm and seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm, downloaded and got to 0th base:
[rj@madeleine Downloads]$ rpmbuild --rebuild seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm Installing seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm warning: InstallSourcePackage: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 57bbccba warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/rj/rpmbuild/SOURCES/find-external-requires;4c000273: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch error: seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm cannot be installed
So, have md5sum or cpio been changed? Mine should be the latest from CentOS:
[rj@madeleine Downloads]$ rpm -q coreutils coreutils-5.97-23.el5_4.2.i386 [rj@madeleine Downloads]$ rpm -q cpio cpio-2.6-23.el5_4.1.i386
Or am I looking at the wrong thing?
BTW, the reason I'm after 2.0.4 is that a friend tells me that he's using 2.0.4 under Windows XP and that it does NOT have the problem with the email address completion that I see and that he also saw until he upgraded his.
Pointers, clues, URLs and remarks about my sanity are equally welcome at this point.

I'm curious as to why you want to rebuild Seamonkey at all. You can get the official 2.0.4 release directly from mozilla.org, and it comes in 32 and 64 bit versions (AFAICT). You can also get mainline and beta sources from them, if you really want to build it yourself, but there's no need or that.
I'm running Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SeaMonkey/2.0.4 from the seamonkey-2.0.4.tar.bz2 I downloaded from mozilla.org. Works fine on my Athlon II X4 system.
Caveat: I've had an issue with both Seamonkey and Firefox for a long time now because they both have a tendency to lose audio-video sync on flash videos after the browser has been running for a long period of time, usually a day or two. I have a bugzilla report in to them, and it's not fixed yet in the latest releases of either one.
HTH.

Yeah, I've been to mozilla.org a couple times today, but I have tried to avoid installing from a tarball. I'm paranoid enough about installing from 3rd party RPM repos.

THANKS for that information. That is an annoyance I've been putting up with for a long time -- and I thought I was the only person having the problem.

Well, okay, but if you trust their product and you trust their source, why wouldn't you trust their official release tarballs? You can always install it as a non-root user and test it out before putting it into /opt (or wherever you prefer) as root.

If you would like to weigh in on this, it bug # 465788 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. If I'm not the only one seeing it, that might inspire them to devote more resources to fixing it. Anyone else, feel free to chime in there, too (but only if you ARE seeing the problem, please :-).

I rebuilt it for x86_64. The SRPM initially came from a link on the seamonkey web site, I think.
you can grab it here - it should be there in an hour when the server syncs: http://www-timc.imag.fr/Nicolas.Thierry-Mieg/seamonkey-2.0.4-1.el5ntm.src.rp...

Many thanks! That baby has been rebuilt on this machine and I'll install it later, after running a couple of errands.

O.K., errands finished, the rebuilt rpm installed using yum --nogpgcheck localupdate /path/to/rpm with no problems, no dependencies. Mail, preferences, plugins and helpers work as far as I've tested. And email address hinting is fixed! Many thanks..

I am glad to hear this, but it really would have been a whole lot simpler just to install the official release tarball....

you're welcome, glad it helped!

rpmbuild --rebuild isn't so complicated, and I find having almost everything in rpms is comfortable. Also, once the rpm is built on one system you can install it everywhere. That can be very convenient, depending on how many desktops/laptops you have.

That, plus, if there are any unsatisfied dependencies, they'll get pulled in from trusted repos. I'll admit that that is probably unlikely with an updated CentOS 5 and Seamonkey, but having been burned really bad, trying to cram CUPS into RedHat 7.2, I try to avoid tarballs unless they're part of a well-documented procedure such as that published by ATI (AMD) for their proprietary video drivers. Even then, I elect to create an RPM and install it. Old farts gather a lot of paranoias, Marc. Thanks for pushing me off TDC, though, and thanks even more for the "hung sound" info!
