Works fine here. You're going to have to provide a backtrace of the problem. See this page for more info: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
Created attachment 181845 [details] gdb thread backtrace I've tried to get a backtrace of liferea, as you suggested following the indications on the link. Hope this helps. For anything else just ask. Regards, Matteo
Something is seriously wrong with your system, it would seem. The failure is an assertion that GLib threads have been initialized, but liferea initializes them very early in main(), so they *should* be fine. Could you post what flags your liferea, xulrunner, and glib were built with (note: glib, not glibc)
here they are: net-news/liferea-1.4.23 dbus debug libnotify webkit xulrunner -gnutls -gtkhtml -lua -networkmanager net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0.5 dbus ipv6 java startup-notification -custom-optimization -elibc_FreeBSD -gnome dev-libs/glib-2.18.2 -debug -doc -fam -hardened -selinux -xattr
Could you try re-emerging xulrunner with the gnome USE flag?
recompiling xulrunner with gnome USE flag enabled made liferea working again. What's the magic trick?
Presumably, the gnome USE flag enables all the gnome library initialization in xulrunner, including glib. I've added a built_with_use check for now, until the gnome2 eclass is eapi 2 ready. Thanks.

I've added a built_with_use check for now, until > the gnome2 eclass is eapi 2 ready. Thanks. My concern with the built_with_use check is that in order to upgrade liferea-1.4.23, I have to reinstall xulrunner with USE="gnome", which requires many unwanted gnome libraries (see list below). I currently have liferea-1.4.23 and ~xulrunner-1.9.0.6-r1 installed with USE="-gnome" (see list below for use flags) and liferea runs fine. I should note that I don't view webpages in liferea and use firefox instead; if this is relevant. I recently emerged system and world to update everything in order to get certain upgraded packages to work, namely xorg-7.4. Perhaps that's why liferea works for me and not Matteo. I do notice that Matteo has webkit and xulrunner flags enabled in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257050#c4, maybe there's a conflict. I will use a local overlay with the liferea-1.4.24 ebuild without built_with_use gnome to verify liferea-1.4.24 will run with -gnome, and post those results. ==== Undesired Xulrunner+gnome library requirements ============================ $ USE='gnome' emerge -vp xulrunner These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Created attachment 182200 [details] liferea-1.4.24-r1.ebuild Liferea-1.4.24 does run with 'xulrunner-1.9.0.6-r1 -gnome' gnome flag doesn't appear to affect glib initialization in liferea.
(It doesn't matter what configure does; we force ordering. xulrunner trumps webkit trumps gtkhtml, in the ebuild.) re-opening per above.
Okay, I've backed out the gnome use flag requirement. Matteo: If you're willing, it would be nice if you could re-emerge xulrunner again without the gnome flag, and see if it goes back to breaking. It may be that just re-emerging xulrunner was enough to fix it.
ok, yesterday I've recompiled xulrunner-1.9.0.6 without gnome USE flag enabled, and it seems that nothing is wrong with it, as long as liferea works and the internal browser too. thanks for your help
Thanks for verifying. It must have been some transient error.
