It installed fine for me, but I keep getting core dumps when I run it. There is no 'uzbl' anywhere in the path, so I tried 'uzbl-browser' and 'uzbl-tabbed'. For 'uzbl-browser' it brings up the initial screen OK, but typing 'fl' crashes it. --=20 Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterling@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips= .com --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJM1yAVAAoJEIpckszW26+R5TgH/2ku6gqlZmzZE4BfexiQg/9q hZEWm54nngB3PAV+YsOC13vGs5AQl+Mit8FlUXtX1AP2IAt305iKgXqDc63ZKyxa /VoCysvCkh1Q/MvhuoWhZPZtzasDsF/VKoMWcXCcZWm3LAf13vWub3ViuHcYSYl+ Bbmmn2Q/5lqTc+xiUIuJ767gHVZnGK9BhsSB0USmCo4pW60059VMShvvgJfj61hs ptp8+inn1d+wNTSicb2M0TkpzCHXCbpuZ6Asb6/WhN2hqCZ53O3B+3kGg0jqJazc 0GUQ7kHa6qhh/FbDWpDw+xstbcdRFOk+LoZBpYslGNO8cpwz+spn7O6FS9+tebc= =kL5M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND--
