When I start Firefox with Gnome 2.12 I have got this error : /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla- firefox/components/libgfx_gtk.so: undefined symbol: pango_x_font_map_for_display firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127) Firefox 1.0.7-r2 and r3 Pango 1.10.1 Cairo 1.0.2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Firefox under Gnome 2.12 2. 3. Actual Results: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla- firefox/components/libgfx_gtk.so: undefined symbol: pango_x_font_map_for_display firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127)
NOT a bugzilla product bug.
This is normal as the mozilla bug is already a month old and fedora has a patch about this, which is also a month old, but no one in mozilla decides to push it. I didn't know that this appears with 1.0.7, but with 1.5betas the only possibility is to use the fedora patch.
I get this running firefox under fluxbox also.
Now with mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7-r1 also :( No running windows found /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/components/libgfx_gtk.so: undefined symbol: pango_x_font_map_for_display
Found a solution, removed moznoxft from my use flags.
No crash but firefox not starting here with arch ppc.

I also tried applying the firefox patch to the thunderbird ebuild; it started compiling the first time I tried, but I can't reproduce that for some reason.

Can we up the severity to critical? In a newly installed gentoo 2005.1 you can't use mozilla-thundebird-1.0.7 because of this, after installing it you have to launch thunderbird using a LD_PRELOAD hack, moznoxft flag does not help, you can have it set or unset: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so thunderbird
It seems that the cause of forgetting to link against pangox is the use of gtk+ 2.8 as it says here http://www.rosenauer.org/blog/2005/08/19/gtk-fun/: [quote] pangoxft-1.0 and pangox-1.0 will not be linked in the static {application}-bin because they were used to be in MOZ_GTK2_LIBS before which they aren

Well, this bug is very old and has bitten a lot of people (at least all the new installations that I know), now you can't use thunderbird-1.0.7 in gentoo 2005.1. You can hack a way thought, edit /usr/bin/thunderbird so it ends like this: #!/bin/sh # # Stub script to run mozilla-launcher. We used to use a symlink here # but OOo brokenness makes it necessary to use a stub instead: # http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78890 # # Hack around undefined symbol in libgfx_gtk # http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109231 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so export MOZILLA_LAUNCHER=thunderbird export MOZILLA_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=${MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH:-/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins} exec /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher "$@" The line which preloads libpangox is your only hope to use thunderbird.
Thank you for your explanations! I had the same problem with both firefox and thunderbird, and they work for me now with the LD_PRELOAD sentence. To confirm the explanation I did emerge --oneshot =gtk+-2.6.10-r1; emerge mozilla-firefox; emerge --oneshot gtk+ and, it works now (without the LDPRELOAD). (Till next update ;)
Is this bug still valid today, after upgrading all the system?
Works for Anarchy.
