Linux emulation problem



Hello. I'm trying to get Firefox 1.0 running on OpenBSD 3.6. So far i 
haven't found a package for it, so i'm working with the Linux version 
that i downloaded directly from www.mozilla.org. I have Linux emulation 
set up correctly (i've tested it by copying and running other X 
applications from a Linux machine). I installed Firefox to 
/usr/local/firefox on a Linux machine, then copied it to the same 
location on the OpenBSD machine. When that didn't work, i also tried 
putting it in /emul/linux/usr/local/firefox. I did copy all libraries 
that Firefox requires, and put them in /emul/linux/usr/lib and ran 
ldconfig to regenerate ld.so.cache.

When i try to run the program it creates a ~/.mozilla directory for its 
settings (so i know that it actually is doing something), but it never 
displays a window. After awhile top shows it as paused:

 PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE  WAIT   TIME    CPU COMMAND
4358 dramaley  18    0   12M 9924K idle   pause  0:01  0.00% firefox-bin

Has anyone else tried to run Firefox 1.0 on OpenBSD 3.6? If so, what did 
you do that i missed? Is there something else i should try to make it 
work?
