I'm finally trying to do this. Lots of weird errors so far. Has anyone had difficulties with the python requirements? What do they need all of this python for? Oh well.. I guess I was spoiled by using old versions for a long time. If I want to try out things like parentNodes and attachEvent(), is 3.5.1 the earliest version where these are found? In other words, I have to go to mozjs-24 to get these js features? Or could I decouple these two things, give edbrowse a slightly older js but still be able to use the latest edbrowse? I'm on a 32-bit CentOS. I haven't been able to find mozjs-24 in package form, either from yum or hunting around the rpm search engines so I have to compile. I don't really know how out of date I am. Is 32-bit still OK or is it very ill-advised? ... if you happen to know. thank you!
