Could you please attach config.log?

[Comment 2 Christian H. Kuhn 2006-08-02 01:26:07 UTC]

Created attachment 93248 [details]
config.log

Is the link to config.log not sufficient? But of course i can attach it ...

[Comment 3 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-08-02 20:34:59 UTC]

Sorry, I completely missed the link.

It's related to firefox.  I have it built against 1.5.0.4, and am currently re-building it against 1.5.0.5.  What version of firefox do you have installed?

[Comment 4 Christian H. Kuhn 2006-08-03 08:32:41 UTC]

That might be a hint. I use 1.5.0.5, but mozilla-firefox-bin, because of the well-known problems with flash on AMD64-Linux. So it seems i should have a mozilla-firefox installed additionally? Is that possible without removing firefox-bin?

[Comment 5 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-08-03 19:33:47 UTC]

Sure, I have them both, but if you are emerging epiphany with the firefox USE flag, then it already pulled in firefox as a dep.

FWIW, I rebuild epi against firefox 1.5.0.5, and it built fine for me.  Maybe a sync+rebuild of firefox would fix your problem?  It might be broken, and you not know it, because you use firefox-bin.

[Comment 6 Christian H. Kuhn 2006-08-18 14:17:38 UTC]

I tried it, and i now have mozilla-firefox 1.5.0.6 installed, and epiphany still fails. Now i tried it with USE="-firefox", and it worked, so it seems to be related to mozilla-firefox, but i can't say why.

[Comment 7 Balint Dobai-Pataky 2006-10-20 11:14:25 UTC]

same here on a clean install,
with www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.7

[Comment 8 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-12-16 14:41:05 UTC]

epiphany 2.16 is stable... it still happens the same ? Reopen if you have some news.
