take a look at /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla. that is a shell script wrapper
for mozilla-bin, which is the actual runtime executable.
/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla calls /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/mozilla, which is
another shell script wrapper. this is the one that looks for the
runtime, and is the file that is spitting out the error (line 75). this
file calls run-mozilla.sh, ANOTHER shell script wrapper. however, it
looks like your system is either (a) unable to find the script, or (b)
is unable to execute it.
as root, ls -la /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh
check to see:
(a) it exists
(b) it is executable by everybody.
it should look like this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10K May 24 15:41 /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh
if this is all correct, check that /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin
has the same permissions.
if the permissions on either of the files is incorrect, chmod the files
as chmod 755 /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh or whatever the
offending filename is.
failing any of this, reinstall the port. this has never been a problem
on any of my machines.
out of curiosity: did you install www/mozilla or www/linux-mozilla?
