![]() I have been going round and round with this issue the last 2 days on 2 different PC's with 64-bit Linuxmint 18.3, one a new build that would not run the Seamonkey 2.48 I copied over from an older disk (whole home dir for main personal Id) that was running same 64-bit LinuxMint 18.3. what's the prerequisites of making the Linu圆4 builds 'official' aside for the issue of getting the tests done for Linu圆4 but our testing infrastructure is busted.Maybe change the online documentation? (perhaps as part of bug 1208822 "System Requirements page needs update"?).How are we going to get out of the following vicious circle? 64-bit builds are not "official" because too few users, and users don't install them (some even prefer compiling their own) because they aren't "official".I pointed them to the x86_64 release at the bottom of the "Other languages" release page for 2.38 and to the x86_64 2.40a2 aurora & 2.41a1 trunk builds at the bottom of the ftp.m.o nightly/latest-comm-* pages but they said these were not "official". ![]() On October 7 two people asked in #seamonkey at a few minutes' interval when there would be "official" 64-bit SM builds for Linux.What about declaring linux-x86_64 builds found at and at ftp.m.o as "official" ? - Tonymec (talk) 13:56, 7 October 2015 (PDT) SM 2.35 was delayed, no 2.36 and 2.37, there is 2.38, 2.39 and 2.40 but no releases since as it has basically missed three major Releases. The SeaMonkey community is struggling to get new Releases out as is due to building, machines and infrastructure issues. Besides many Linux distros provide 64-bit SeaMonkey packages for SM 2.40. The 64-bit Linux version is only as en-US and no other languages and is not really official even though it is built on same machines as I said. The 64-bit build is on the page I mentioned yes. So I repeat my original question, why don't they have a 64-bit version readily and easily and obviously available? Why wouldn't they have included the 64-bit as well as the 32-bit version?įollow-up: I looked more carefully, and if you dig around you can find the 64-bit version, but it's under the heading "Contributed builds (other platforms)", and to a relative newcomer such as myself, I would never have thought to look here, having trusted that the Linux download link provided by the website at the top of the page was correct.

In fact, if you place the extracted seamoneky folder in your home directory and exchange that folder with each update, it's less work for you.
