   Did you install this way?
   #tazpkg get-install get-google-chrome
   #get-google-chrome
   If you didn't your missing depends.
   DEPENDS="gtk+ GConf lzma flash-plugin bash xdg-utils xorg-libXss cups libjpeg62"

   Chrome looks for shared libs with different names which have to be symlinked:
   ln -s /usr/lib/libnspr4.so $root/usr/lib/libnspr4.so.0d 2> /dev/null
   ln -s /usr/lib/libnss3.so $root/usr/lib/libnss3.so.1d 2> /dev/null
   ln -s /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so $root/usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d 2> /dev/null
   ln -s /usr/lib/libplc4.so $root/usr/lib/libplc4.so.0d 2> /dev/null
   ln -s /usr/lib/libplds4.so $root/usr/lib/libplds4.so.0d 2> /dev/null
   ln -s /usr/lib/libsmime3.so $root/usr/lib/libsmime3.so.1d 2> /dev/null
   ln -s /usr/lib/libssl3.so $root/usr/lib/libssl3.so.1d 2> /dev/nul
   sed -i 's/exec -a "$0"/exec /' $root/usr/bin/google-chrome 2> /dev/null

   I installed it using the package manager, by just typing and installing it. I'll try like this. Thank you!

   Excuse me, I fail to understand:

   if you didn't your missing depends.
   DEPENDS="gtk+ GConf lzma flash-plugin bash xdg-utils xorg-libXss cups libjpeg62"

   Must I install these packages ?

   and must i also edit the libs adding the parameters you gave me?

   thank you

   Hi, the list of dependencies is here to allow tazpkg to load them in the background of installation or, when something failed, to help you to manually install and/or correct missing/downgraded but existing libraries.

   That's what Mojo did: show you how to rename some downgraded but existing libraries, because they will work for chrome. In fact that's not a matter of renaming, but creating symbolic links with wanted names.

   What I do not understand myself is the "$root" variable. What's this ?

   @Babaorum
   get-google-chrome post_install() symlink targets are owned by libfirefox.tazpkg
   get-google-chrome should have:
   DEPENDS= libfirefox

   What I do not understand myself is the "$root" variable. What's this ?

   Maybe it's required by script, I copy/pasted from get-google-chrome post_install():
