If you’re using su -c then you’ll have to actually give the full path to zypper.. So:

su -c ‘/usr/bin/zypper …..’

or su -c ‘`which zypper` ….’

SHould work for you

First, I did which zypper – got the o/p as /usr/bin/zypper …..ok so zypper exists

I give the command

su -c ‘zypper http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/ openSUSE\ 11.2\ Mozilla’

then i enter root password

but I am getting the error message as

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla
/openSUSE_11.2/: ‘zypper: command not found

What could be the problem. I am running Suse 11.2 64 bit OS

The upgrade didn’t quite work for me: After zypper successfully installed MozillaFirefox 3.6, starting firefox resulted in an error message:

/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2.0/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl

Fisiu :
After firefox update we stille hava mozilla-xulrunner191 installed but it’s not required anymore. So we can remove mozilla-xulrunner191* packages.

It’s not required for Firefox 3.6 anymore doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not required for your system anymore though.
I something complains when trying to remove then just keep it please otherwise some other applications may fail.

Thank you for shared. I used dup feature it worked.

Fisiu,

Yes, you are correct. With Firefox 3.6 if you’ve upgrading using the dup method, all xulrunner packages will be upgraded to 1.9.2.

Which means if you want to keep your machine free of software you don’t need, then remove the previous xulrunner191 versions with:

su -c ‘zypper rm mozilla-xulrunner191*’

Which will then remove all previous versions of mozilla-xulrunner.

Thank you for the comment.
