Bug 3626 – Macromedia Flash Plugin crashes Mozilla

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jarred Barber 2002-06-11 09:54:24 UTC]

When visiting a website with Flash on it, Mozilla crashes with:

/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin: relocation error:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: undefined symbol: __builtin_vec_new

I have a feeling this has to do with merging mozilla with GCC 3.1 (I've compiled
Mozilla 1.0-r2 on GCC 3.1-r6)

I have a fix to the problem already based on some comments posted on Mozilla's 
Bugzilla page. However the solution isn't all that workable for users so I'm 
gonna intergrate it in a patch and post it here soon.

Here's a hack to make it work

Extract this into /usr/lib/mozilla/ It will extract libc++mem.so and
run-mozilla.sh (overwriting the old one) and you'll be good to go.

mozilla-1.0-r3 (masked) fixes this, please test and contact Azarah.

Any success with mozilla-1.0-r3 ?  Works fine here (except for java plugin, but
that is another story).

[Comment 5 Andreas Kotowicz 2002-07-22 04:01:52 UTC]

works fine here. can someone make this patch also work for galeon?

[Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-07-22 13:52:13 UTC]

Hrm, it should work fine, as galeon uses mozilla's backend to load the plugins.
If I remember correctly, it worked fine here.

[Comment 7 Andrew Sayman 2002-07-22 16:33:41 UTC]

I no longer get the flash crash using mozilla-r3. This is resolved for me.

[Comment 8 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2002-07-25 18:30:00 UTC]

This is a known issue because of the changes in the C++ ABI. We do however have
a patch in the latest Mozilla-1.0-r3 release so it should be fixed.
