There is an unresolved symbol in the Java plugin: shevek@p405u ~$ mozilla www.demon.net LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID]
See <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/java-linux@java.blackdown.org/msg14967.html"> http://www.mail-archive.com/java-linux@java.blackdown.org/msg14967.html</a> for a description of why it fails. However, this seems to prevent me from loading mozilla at all. Can I rebuild just mozilla without Java?
of course USE="-java" emerge mozilla
No offense, but where have you been =) Check the mozilla bug here: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116444 Search for java and mozilla in our own bugzilla to have a couple of already added bugs about this.
I cannot build mozilla at all. USE="-java" emerge mozilla This was suggested in response to a previous report. This builds but segfaults on load. DEBUGBUILD=1 USE="-java" emerge mozilla This fails to build. Editing the ebuild file as follows 5c5 < IUSE="java crypt ipv6 gtk2 ssl ldap gnome" --- > IUSE="crypt ipv6 gtk2 ssl ldap gnome" 460a461,462 > unset JAVAC JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME > 474c476 < --with-java-supplement \ --- > --without-java-supplement \ I forget whether this fails to build or fails to run. I think it built but segfaulted. Have you a tested method for successfully building any working mozilla please? S.
