emerging adobesvg worked nicely, but it refuses to load in my mozilla telling me: test@gentoo:~$ mozilla -splash LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libNPSVG3.so [libgtksuperwin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libNPSVG3.so [libgtksuperwin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] so i actually don't know if it's a dependence problem in the ebuild or something else with my setup... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start an xterm 2. run "mozilla -splash" 3. watch the xterm output Actual Results: i can read the posted failure message an as a result, mozilla isn't able to display svg files Expected Results: well, you'd actually expect to have a working svg-plugin in mozilla
sometimes that .so is built when using mozilla, sometimes it isnt ... i never figured out the pattern
i just found something interesting in the mozilla build faq. http://www.mozilla.org/build/faq.html#gtk2superwin basically it comes down to libgtksuperwin.so being build when built against gtk1! if mozilla gets linked to gtk2 that lib is missing!! argh. so it looks like the adobe people have to fix this, or is there any workaround?
A part from this i also figured out that adobesvg plugin causes epiphany to crash on shutdown. I tried epiphany with various plugin configurations until i found out that adobesvg was causing the crash.
