Iron browser won't start (MDV & Fedora)

[dedanna1029]

Iron browser won't start in either Mandriva or Fedora. I'm wondering what's up with this. It's the latest version of Iron (8.0.555.0 Stable for Linux, and the 9.0.whatever-it-is). It did this with earlier versions too, on both distros:

Code: Select all

[dedanna@localhost ~]$ cd /home/dedanna/Extract/iron-linux
[dedanna@localhost iron-linux]$ ./iron
./iron: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is with the new tar.gz extracted to /home.
I've installed various things which say they contain the libbz2.so, but it's been to no avail.

Any clue what's up with this? So far, I've posted to the SRWare forum, but it's too early yet for responses to it.

Thanks.

Looks like you have an answer. Did it work?

Nope. Had already tried it.
