Getting FileZilla to work on Solaris 11

Download the latest available binary for solaris from FileZilla-3.2.4-x86
Extract the source on

tar zxf FileZilla-3.2.4-x86-OpenSolaris_2008-11.tar.bz2

Note: On newer versions of Solairs 11(or 12), you might need to add/link some old library’s to the path, or even getting form an older release, and added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Something like the below should work. alternatively you can just added it to your .bashrc

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/all/old_solaris_lib_path

The old library’s I needed to retain are below (i.e. not available in the pkg repo for the latest release).

libmlib.so.2  libpng12.so.0  libpng12.so.0.49.0

Now starting filezilla should just work normally.
