Bug 45125 – epiphany-1.2.0 chockes on startup - relocation error

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) 2004-03-19 08:31:10 UTC]

This is a the log of things I tried doing: 

bash-2.05b$ epiphany
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
/usr/bin/epiphany-bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libnecko.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetAddrInfoByName
bash-2.05b$ strings /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libnecko.so | grep GetAddr
PR_GetAddrInfoByName

Please ignore the flashplayer errors - I have flash installed for 32-bit firefox. The odd issue is that PR_GetAddrInfoByName _does_ exist, but epiphany does not find it, even if it linked against it. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Epiphany doesn't start

there is no epi-1.2.0 in the tree at this time. I'm not ready to handle bugs that are not ours.

[Comment 2 Matthew Schick 2004-03-19 09:38:51 UTC]

Post bugs for ebuilds from bmg to bugs.breakmygentoo.net, not here.

[Comment 3 Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) 2004-03-23 05:49:07 UTC]

I've emerged it now from portage (without bmg) - and I still get the same error - not sure though whether the problem is due to epiphany:

bash-2.05b$ objdump -t /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libnecko.so 

/usr/lib/mozilla/components/libnecko.so:     file format elf64-x86-64

SYMBOL TABLE:
no symbols

actually it doesn't matter much to me if you are using our builds now, afaic your warranty is void after using any ebuild not in the tree. I can't tell what happens on your system anymore.

Come back if you can reproduce it on a clean system.

To you i suggest investigating mozilla, not epiphany as the culprit.

Unmerging nspr fixed this for me (forching epiphany to use the one packaged with libnecko I suspect).
