when executing firefox from a terminal, the output in the URL provided occurs, produces a segv. The backtrace is minimal, gdb wouldnt give much more. I can reproduce this bug every single time i execute, same error. I have tried at least 3-4 ebuilds from 1.0.5 upwards, no success so far. Let me know if anyone needs more info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mozilla-firefox 2. firefox 3. segv occurs Actual Results: SIGSEGV Expected Results: A firefox window going to Firefox Start... :) emerge info is in the URL provided.
http://www.nightsys.net/strace-firefox theres an strace output, requested by anarchy@gentoo.org :)
Please provide 'emerge --info' Also, can youu try different binutils versions
as eradicator has pointed out if you still having this issue after re-emerging glibc and firefox try glibc-2.3.5-r1 with USE=-linuxthreads-tls and report back.
Tried the emerge glibc mozilla-firefox at anarchy@gentoo.org's request, No luck. will try the next fix and report back shortly.
http://www.nightsys.net/firefox-ppc-crash-libc-2.3.5-r1 The result of glibc-2.3.5-r1, same issue by the looks of it.
ok...done a few things, ran anarchy@gentoo's glibc pkg, got that on here now (2.3.5), still had no luck, then i put morfic@gentoo's mozilla-firefox pkg on here (since anarchy's had +gnome and i didnt want it), and it loaded up. morfic can you please stick your emerge -pv mozilla-firefox here for reference?
Appears to have been caused by broken glibc ... possible use of DEBUG use flag as well. If problem shows feel free to reopen.
