Bugzilla Bug 65226

I discovered that epiphany-1.4.0 would not run because it could not find needed
symbols in its libraries.  It turns out that it was linking to
/usr/lib/libnspr.so instead of the libraries in /usr/lib/mozilla.

Uninstalling the nspr package fixed the problem but this is probably not a long
term solution because other installed packages depend on nspr.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install nspr
2.  Install epiphany-1.4.0
3.  Run epiphany

Actual Results:  
epiphany did not start.

Expected Results:  
It should have run my currently favorite web browser.

what were the exact errors ? Did mozilla itself run without errors ?

epiphany: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libnecko.so:
undefined symbol: PR_GetAddrInfoByName

And yes, Mozilla itself works fine.

Another clue and workaround!

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla:/usr/lib epiphany

runs fine.  So the problem seems to be in the order of library lookups.

I also have the same problem and the same workaround !

i guess.. can both libs be installed at the same time mozilla team ?

using nspr-4.4.1 ? afaik azarah added a fix to it, so it wouldn't put it's libs
in /usr/lib anymore, but it didn't get rev bumped. So please rebuild & check if
there's still a problem.

For me, re-emerging din't solve the problem...

I have the same problem. In my case Epiphany does start, but it does not ever
resolve the IP address of the host put into the address bar. Using the stated
workaround does fix the problem (in both mozilla-firefox and epiphany).
mozilla-firefox-bin does not suffer from this problem.

Typing a specific IP in the address bar does work fine.

The upgrade to 1.4.4 didn't solve the problem :-(

foser, azarah's patch was to not install the libraries in /usr/bin, not
/usr/lib.

@reporters: okay, I have mozilla-1.7.3 installed (with libnspr4.so in
/usr/lib/mozilla/), and I have nspr-4.4.1 installed (with libnspr4.so in
/usr/lib) and epiphany-1.4.4 always links correctly to
/usr/lib/mozilla/libnspr4.so.

Jonathon and Jack, can you please remerge with lower CFLAGS?

I notice you're all using amd64 as well, and I don't see this problem on x86 or
ppc. 

@amd64 team: could this be at all related to some sort of multi-lib handling?

can everyone here "ldd `which epiphany` | grep nspr" ?

i mean the devs on x86 with working epiphany installs with nspr also installed as well.

obz@azure obz $ ldd /usr/bin/epiphany | grep nspr
libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/mozilla/libnspr4.so (0x0fd21000)

For me :

gentoo ~ # ldd `which epiphany` | grep nspr
	libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0x0000002a95eb4000)

So, it doesn't use mozilla's one !

AMD64 laptop:
$ ldd /usr/bin/epiphany  | grep nspr
libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0x00000031c7900000)

I've been using a script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a workaround.

Here's why, although I don't know how it got this way.  Probably something in
the compile/link options in the build scripts.

x86 system:
$ objdump -x /usr/bin/epiphany | grep RPATH
  RPATH       /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2:/usr/lib/mozilla

amd64 system:
$ objdump -x /usr/bin/epiphany | grep RPATH
  RPATH       /usr/lib:/usr/lib/mozilla

can you try the newest nspr? this was fixed a while back but the version never
updated. nspr should be installed in its own directory /usr/lib/nspr/

On my amd64 nspr still installs itself in /usr/lib. No /usr/lib/nspr directory!

Yep, same thing here. nspr is still in /usr/lib...

tried -r1 ?

Yep, it's 4.4.1-r1 which is installed, and epiphany recompiled as well.

just fixed this in nspr 4.4.1-r2. have a blast :)
