Hi all

Here is the latest stable release of google-chrome you can download it here

Google-chrome

If you have never run google-chrome in puppy you will need this lib package
Google-chrome-libs

You can read more about it at my blog

Edited for new libs get them here google-libs-6
Those are so that the libgcrypt-so.11 are in for Wary and Quirky pups.

Thanks to xman for his help here is the complete libs needed for it to run in Quirky and Wary
Google-libs-7

[xman]

I can’t run your Chrome-7-stable version in Quirky-130 although I had google-libs installed.

I tried also Nikukyu’s google-chrome-stable_7.0.517.41.pet (http://koinunoesa.blog46.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html), and this version is a real killer on my old laptop. No extra libs needed.

Thanks for this. I installed it on puppeee 1.0 to upgrade the built-in older version. Worked fine

xman not sure why it did not work for you but have never tried it myself in Quirky and it may be that it needs some other libs not in my google-libs file so if you want you can install mine and then in a term window type google-chrome and see if it gives you any error messages. I do not see why it may be slowing down your system can you post your specs for you computer. Google chrome is not a light browser

[xman]

I’m sure that Chrome is lighter than Firefox. That’s why I’m not using Firefox in XP - it’s killing XP. Chrome-007 compiled by Nikukyu (http://koinunoesa.blog46.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html) is running very well on my laptop. It includes all libs needed in Quirky-130 (or Wary-030). It’s killer in browsing, not in killing OS.

Some test only for you: I downloaded your pets again, installed google-libs-5 and Chrome-stable-7. Chrome does not start and console says in Wary-030 or Quirky-130: /usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

[GrumpyWolfe]

I will locate the lib and add to the google-libs so that it will work and when I do if you will try it I would be grateful.

I have uploaded a new set of libs get them here google-libs-6

[xman]

Quirky-130, google-libs-6 and GW-Chrome-7 installed, no start for this Chrome. Console: /usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgpg-error.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

[GrumpyWolfe]

Thank you xman
For taking the time to test for me I am not wanting to download and test another puplet at this time here it the needed lib and later after we have it all investagated I will make a updated google-libs.

you can download libgpg-error0 here

[xman]

Congratulations, GrumpyWolfe. Your GW-C7 has more fat than C-007 compiled by Nikukyu, but GW-C7-stable is now running in Quirky-130. Console has something to say, but nothing important or fatal, I think.

Wary-030, google-libs-6 and libgpg-error0 installed, GW-Chrome-7-Stable is running now.

Thank you xman I will update the libs and put out a new pet with all the libs in one file. You help is very much appreciated.
