(Btw "/usr/local/bin/libIDL-config was installed by package ORBit-0.5.17_2" and that doesn't appear to be a dependency of firefox's. I think the message from firefox install is just confusing the issue and it is libIDL-config-2 that's required). More obvious questions. You are doing the firefox install as root and root does have /usr/local/bin/ in it's path and libIDL-config-2 is executable? As root check with: "which libIDL-config-2". Just to confirm it working, I tried just configuring firefox and got: checking for libIDL-2.0 >= 0.8.0... yes checking LIBIDL_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include/libIDL-2.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include checking LIBIDL_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -lIDL-2 I'm not sure what else to suggest. make clean in firefox and try making again. --Alex
