When i run mozilla 1.3 or mozilla-firebird 0.6 outputs: MozillaFirebird LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined symbol: __dso_handle] /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined symbol: __dso_handle] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Have you recently upgraded any of your toolchain before compiling either mozilla or firebird? What is the output of emerge info?
i got the same behaviour with firebird 0.7: ---------SNIP--------- carlos@zet6 carlos $ /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined symbol: __dso_handle] ---------SNIP--------- Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.22-ck2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.22-ck2 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10p1 distcc 2.11.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs sandbox ccache userpriv fixpackages" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts svga X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla alsa apache2 curl evo gd -gnome gtk2 -java kerberos lcms maildir mysql odbc perl plotutils postgres samba tcltk tetex tiff usb wmf xml xml2 video_cards_sis" ---------SNIP--------- what i did recently was replacing netscape-flash with gplflash as it was required by some other package (dont remember which) - these packages block one another...
i unmerge gplflash, emerged netscape flash and remerged firebird - this seems to work now - i get a different error :)
Apparent problem with gpl flash
