Re: gnomemeeting-1.2.2: surprise dependencies

Hopefully this will be the last time today that I reply to myself.  I am
having a bad day. I missed one of the libraries in the list below.

Explanation
--------------
Firefox, as configured, installs all of its libs into 

        $(libdir)/firefox-1.x.y. 

What I am suggesting is to link the libs in that directory associated
with nspr and nss to $libdir

firefox-nspr
------------
* libnspr4.so
* libplc4.so
* libplds4.so

firefox-nss
-----------
* libnss3.so
* libnssckbi.so
* libsmime3.so
* libsoftokn3.so
* libssl3.so
