Bug 18767 – mozilla not linked to libfontconfig, but requires symbol in libfontconfig

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Knep 2003-04-04 16:27:41 UTC]

After some filesystem problems (fsck fixed errors), mozilla would not open and
galeon would continually open browser windows until killed.  Remerging galeon
and mozilla did not solve the problem.
Looking at the output of strace mozilla determined that mozilla was looking for
FcPatternCreate, but ldd /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin determined that it wasn't
linked.
emerge fontconfig mozilla solved the problem.
Any idea why the mozilla emerge (and linking) worked if the linking didn't?

not a keychain bug

[Comment 2 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-04-05 16:28:57 UTC]

Mozilla is not linked against libfontconfig, but 
/usr/lib/mozilla/components/libgfx_gtk.so is.  Ill say it was caused by the
filesystem corruption.  Anyhow, fontconfig is a DEPEND of mozilla.
