I have an updated 1.4 rc1 and i have emerged Mozilla 1.2 without any showstoppers. The build goes throu without any glitches but Mozilla 1.2 wont start. It just spews a segmentation fault and thats it. Mozilla 1.0.1 and Phoenix works just dandy on the same system. I tried to remove both of them and compile but it didnt help. My system is not modified and runs pretty much out of the box. The computer is an AMD Athlon 650 with 256mb ram.
My story is similar: -if I rm -rf ~/.mozilla first, I get a segfault right away. -if I leave ~/.mozilla (from moz1.1), Mozilla complains when loading the java plugin... LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.1.01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.1.01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: GetGlobalServiceManager__16nsServiceManagerPP17nsIServiceManager] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.1.01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.1.01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: GetGlobalServiceManager__16nsServiceManagerPP17nsIServiceManager] ..and exits. I'll see how to disable plugins to see if that is the singular problem..
Try to remove libjavaplugin_oji.so from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. You are trying to start mozilla while phoenix is running ? When did you merge it ? If possible, attach /var/db/pkg/net-www/mozilla-1.2/mozilla-1.2.ebuild (NOTE: please attach that exact file, and NOT the one in /usr/portage)
Created attachment 6204 [details] My ebuild script from /var/db/pkg/...
my ebuild is exactly the same, and I emerged it yesterday evening (4p ~ 6p CST)
oops. removing the plugin symlink had no effect. Next, I will see what I can grok from a strace output..
Mine started working unexpectedly. One notable difference was that in the interim, I had installed netscape, which created ~/.netscape. Thus, upon running mozilla (by accident), it converted the profile and worked great. However, the java plugin which was suspected doesn't seem to be loading, even though I restored the symlink in usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I will experment more as time permits.
Did any of you have 'gtk2' in USE ?
The profile manager seems to be broken. I also tried to compile with march=i586 but that didnt help. Has anybody Mozilla 1.2 working so we can compare our systems?
Success! It works with use=gtk2 in make.conf. Atleast it starts now and render pages.
Much the same problem, but I can run mozilla as root. Don't know if that is due to a problem with my normal users profile or some permision is set wrong. Tried gtk2 first, but then you lose xft-font-smoothing, so I switched back to gtk1 and got this strange problem.
Can you guys please try mozilla-1.2.1-r2 (those that still have issues with gtk1 build mozilla) ? Please let me know.
Moz 1.2.1-r2 ran through to completion and is working fine now for me. :-) Tanx!
Reopen if still issues
