Ok, I have to admit, I do _not_ know, what they are talking about, cause
I never had such problem...

I wanted to see that myself, so I did a qick search:

[root monkey root]# find / -type f -name '*nspr*'       
/usr/lib/libnspr4.so
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libnspr4.so
/usr/local/mozilla/components/libnsprefm.so
/usr/local/mozilla/libnspr4.so
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org/program/libnspr4.so

So, let alone the openoffice libraries, there is 1 of them in a mozilla
specific dir and 1 in /usr/lib. Don't know where it came from, I deleted
all mozilla RPMs from Mandrake.

Since mozilla 1.2 there don't seem to be an /usr/lib/mozilla-<version>
dir, since I only have an old 1.1 dir remaining. Mozilla 1.2(.1) don't
seem to install anything longer in there.

Maybe they get all their stuff in /usr/local/mozilla or moved it to
/usr/lib.

Maybe that helps, I'm just curious. Everything runs really smothly here.


btw: Thanks for the great Evolution. As I don't have time for coding
right now, I at least wanna give something back by supporting in here.
