Ok, going to show my ignorance here... I've downloaded three  
different packages from mozilla.org.

1) mozilla - ? (can't find the source and don't remember the version)
2) firefox -1.5.0.9
3) xulrunner -1.8.0.4

All three of those install as $prefix/mozilla-x.x.x where x.x.x  
represents the version of whatever package I installed.  All three  
are detected as mozilla in the configure, however.

Any chance you can point me to a gecko that I can build that will not  
detect as mozilla?

It is an intel Mac.  I think I actually did get mozilla to build, but  
it's been a bit now so I won't swear to it.  I believe on all three  
of these I'm buliding the 'standalone' module only and installing  
that.  Is that perhaps the problem?

Any help is appreciated, and sorry for the delay in my reply.
