When launching Firefox (www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5), with SCIM, it segfaults: $ firefox No running windows found /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 14294 Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@" Using: app-i18n/scim-1.4.2 (USE flags: +gtk -immqt -immqt-bc) If I unset the GTK_IM_MODULE variable (which tells GTK or programs -I don't know-, to use SCIM), firefox works fine. This bug might be related to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84185 and that's why I guess it is related to GCC-3.4, but I have no problem with gedit, anjuta or grip. If I emerge mozilla-firefox-1.5 (not the binary version), everything works fine. Then, there is this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99782 I reported some months ago, and which, in facts I shouldn't have closed, as after having fully migrated to gcc-3.4 (following the http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Migrate_to_GCC_3.4 guide, re-emerging -e system && world, emerging libstdc++-v3, revdep-rebuild, etc.), the problem reappeared. However, I guess the issue with mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5, even being related to SCIM and GCC-3.4, might be a little different (as I compiled KDE 3.5 with GCC-3.4, and my whole system && world before that...), so I will open another bug report, later (or re-open my old one). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # USE="gtk" emerge =app-i18n/scim-1.4.2 2. # emerge =www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5 3. Add "export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM && export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim" to your ~/.xinitrc (well, anywhere so they are set when under X) 4. $ startx 5. $ firefox Actual Results: Firefox segaults.

(In reply to comment #1) > please check our faq before reporting bugs > > http://www.scim-im.org/wiki/faq/gtk_gnome/why_firefox_mozilla_acrobat_reader_7_other_gtk_2_based_apps_can_not_be_installed_started Thanx for the link, I should have searched there. However, this is still a problem which should be reported to the Gentoo Bugzilla, in order to find a way to automatize the workarounds and solutions proposed in the FAQ, or at least warn the user, when using precompiled packages, compiled with a different version than the one used to compile SCIM. There are multiple possible ways: 1) Put an ewarn in the app-i18n/scim ebuild, which would say (maybe only if SCIM was compiled with >=gcc-3.4) "If you use C++ precompiled packages (e.g. www-clients/mozilla-firefox-bin, app-text/acroread), and compiled SCIM with GCC version 3.4 or above, you may not be able to start those applications. If so, please see: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114480#c1". For apps which have non-precompiled packages, we should suggest the user to use them. (By the way, I have no problem with Acrobat Reader 7). 2) Put an ewarn in every precompiled packages which could be be subject to problems with SCIM, and tell the user to set "GTK_IM_MODULE" to "xim", when launching those apps, if they have problems. 3) Install a little wrapper (or use existing ones -firefox and acroread already use one) with every precompiled packages which could be subject to problems with SCIM, which would automatically set the "GTK_IM_MODULE" environment variable to "xim", before launching those applications. In this case, we should also put an ewarn in those apps ebuilds, to tell the user about the problem. 4) For free softwares, like mozilla-firefox-bin, we could ask Mozilla to make available a Firefox precompiled package, compiled with GCC 3.4... or maybe make available a version compiled by the Gentoo devs, with GCC-3.4 (and above versions?)? For other softwares, me could also ask for multiple precompiled packages... Then, we would put an ewarn in the SCIM and/or the problematic apps ebuilds, so the user emerge the correct one, if using SCIM, compiled with GCC >=3.4... 5) Propose a SCIM recompiled package, which would be compiled with gcc-3.3... (or ask the user to compile it himself, using gcc-3.3, and not >=gcc-3.4) 6) Maybe find a way to retablish binary compatibility...? Anyway, we can't let the user alone, deducing that the problem comes from SCIM, and making his way to the SCIM website.
That's how it was done for >=app-text/acroread-7: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89766#c6
mozilla folks, is it possible to add something equivalent to the following in firefox-bin/mozilla-bin? if [ -n "${0#*-bin}" ]; then export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim; done this is from http://www.scim-im.org/wiki/faq/gtk_gnome/why_firefox_mozilla_acrobat_reader_7_other_gtk_2_based_apps_can_not_be_installed_started which seems to also exist in some form with app-text/acroread.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153880 try this anyone.
Some try w/ the new scim ebuild?

Thanks Shunichi Fuji, for the information about the "--enable-ld-version-script" switch :)
Fixed with scim's new ebuild via Anarchy.
