Mozilla Browser v1.7.20.for AIX v5.3 Installation notes

You do not need to install Java in this version.

Note: I do not have an AIX 5l v5.3 extension package and an AIX toolbox for Linux applications disc. Therefore, the related software needs to be downloaded from the IBM official website.
If you have related CDs, you can save a lot of trouble.

Running the download-prerequisites.sh script which is extracted along
These instructions in the specified illa.base.tar.gz file. This script will use

(I'm useless. Please try it)

The above RPMs can also be found on the following website:

Before installing the prerequisites from the AIX toolbox, please ensure that
There is adequate space in the/OPT File System on AIX. installing all of
RPMS requires about 75 MB of free space in/opt.
Run the DF-mV/OPT command to check whether the/OPT directory has at least 75 MB of free space. Run the chfs-a size = + 100 m/OPT command as needed to increase the space.

Run the following script to check whether the software package is installed:
Rpm-Q/
ATK/
Expat/

Java support
The built-in JAVA version of Aix is 1.4.2, which can meet the requirements of Mozilla v1.7.20.
Check whether the/usr/Mozilla/base/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so link exists. Run the following command for your reference.

Other settings

Follow the steps above to install Mozilla. Once Mozilla is installed, it can be set as the default browser by running:

Smitty change_documentation_services (Aix 5l v5.3)-or-
Smitty change_default_browser (Aix 5l v5.1 and v5.2)

Specify/usr/bin/Mozilla as the default browser command. This will set the default_browser environment variable used by the defaultbrowser script.

The configuration will be valid after the next login.
