The solution is : emerge freetype-2.1.3-r2.ebuild for downgraded from 2.1.4 to 2.1.3-r2 and modify your /var/cache/edb/world (or --inject option) for the next emerge -u world. i had the same trouble, the solution worked for me. This same activity is also evident on any theregister.co.uk article. Please try with fontconfig-2.2.0-r1 and freetype-2.1.4. Sorry but I haven't any time now, if somebody wants to try... Have just tried this, and it still appears to fall over. can you get a backtrace with debug info of mozilla crashing ? i can't reproduce crashing, except for flash page, but i rather blame flash there. Should I have recompiled mozilla against the new libraries? Is there a webpage giving information on performing the backtrace you suggest? As you may have guessed, I am new to this :-) best would probably be to add 'debugbuild' to the inherit line in the ebuild and then build mozilla like this 'DEBUGBUILD="yes" emerge mozilla' Run it in gdb and enter 'bt' when you crash. And no you shouldnt have to recompile mozilla to work with these libs. Why do you use a different cpu for your CXX flags btw, don't think it should matter, but it is sorta weird. You might want to try compile mozilla a bit more conservative as well, to make it more stable ('-march=athlon -O2' or something). Ok - Just been playing and it all appears to work now! tried with mozilla-1.3, freetype-2.1.4 and fontconfig-2.2.0-r1 : it worked. nothing a recompile can't fix it seems. closing as nonreproducable |
