You are a late bird - you need your beauty sleep!

This is what I have done so far

wget -c 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/1.1.1/seamonkey-1.1.1.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz
tar zxvf seamonkey-1.1.1.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz
cd seamonkey-installer
gksudo ./seamonkey-installer <<<<- This is where it   doesn't  like it
sudo mv /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey /usr/bin/seamonkey

All the above is a direct copy from 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey


I think I understand your above comments but why does it install under 
WINDOWS VISTA?

These are the error messages


john at ubuntu:~$ gksudo ./seamonkey-installer
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
  Major opcode:  145
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
Failed to open device


What more can I tell you?
