Description José Fonseca 2002-06-10 04:10:56 UTC

On startup java plugin fails to load:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
[/opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined
symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID]


Opening a flash-enabled webpage (such as: http://www.adobe.com) it crashes with
this message:

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

This is not a bug in Gentoo Linux this is because the plugins you mentioned are
only available to us as binaries so we cannot recompile them to work with the
new gcc-3.1 symbol mangling system.  As soon as the vendors release gcc-3.1
compatible versions we will incorporate them for our users web-surfing pleasure.

My quick hack

Extract the following into /usr/lib/mozilla and it will create libc++mem.so and
run-mozilla.sh (replacing your old one) and you're all set as far as Flash. As
far as Java there is no fix available because of the new C++ ABI used by gcc3.1
and no Java vendor has a JRE compiled with gcc3.1.
