GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 47428
web page view fails to start up with recent snapshot on Mandrake
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I'm using Eazel snapshot from Sun Mar 4 21:32:38 2001. Any time I try to use the web page view, I get the error message: The Web Page view encountered an error while starting up. I have mozilla 0.8 installed using the RPMs from the eazel web site, and mozilla works fine when I run it separately. This is on a Mandrake Linux 7.1 system. Andrew ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2001-03-05 23:29:47 ---- Mike, we have a Mandrake system available in the lab to try this on. Maciej, would you consider this a GNOME 1.4 blocker? ------- Additional Comments From apost@cbmi.upmc.edu 2001-03-06 06:24:18 ---- If I run nautilus-mozilla-content-view from the shell, I get: ./nautilus-mozilla-content-view: error while loading shared libraries: ./nautilus-mozilla-content-view: undefined symbol: _t24__default_alloc_template2b1i0.free_list I could help debug it if I only knew what library that symbol's from. Andrew ------- Additional Comments From apost@cbmi.upmc.edu 2001-03-06 07:13:34 ---- It seems to be a problem in the libstdc++ package in Mandrake. I found reports of this problem with this undefined symbol and other software. It might work after a recompile of nautilus, but unfortunately the src rpm is broken, because it can't find my installation of mozilla 0.8.1. Configure reports: configure: error: *** Mozilla 0.8 or greater is required to build the Nautilus Mozilla component. *** A package for 0.8 is available here: *** http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/mozilla/. Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.92985 (%build) Would a more recent build solve the mozilla dependency, or should I just patch my build and try again? Andrew ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2001-03-06 09:23:42 ---- Not a 1.0 blocker. ------- Additional Comments From mikef@praxis.etla.net 2001-03-07 11:20:22 ---- This is only resolvable by making a Mandrake binary, since the C++ libriaries are not binary compatible between RH and Mandrake. So we'll do this when we support Mandrake. Andrew-- In the meantime, your only bet is to compile the nautilus mozilla component from source. I'm going to mark this bug INVALID since it'll go away when we do binary packages for mandrake, but it won't go away before we do that. ------- Additional Comments From foobar@null.net 2001-03-15 07:49:05 ---- *** Bug 46690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ------- Additional Comments From foobar@null.net 2001-03-15 07:54:54 ---- - setting the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME envar to /usr/lib/mozilla resolved the problem for me. This should probably be in the nautilus startup. [bert@cabbie bin]$ ./nautilus-mozilla-content-view Warning: MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set. ** CRITICAL **: file gtkmozembed.cpp: line 1081 (void gtk_moz_embed_push_startup()): assertion `retval == TRUE' failed. [bert@cabbie bin]$ export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla/ [bert@cabbie bin]$ ./nautilus-mozilla-content-view Registering plugin 0 for: "*","All types",".*" Registering plugin 0 for: "*","All types",".*" ------- Additional Comments From foobar@null.net 2001-03-15 08:09:57 ---- .... also, I found that if I don't startup nautilus-mozilla-content-view myself and put it in the background, that it never starts at all. Once I do that (after setting the mozilla home dir), everything works perfectly on Mandrake 8 beta. ------- Additional Comments From henryst@mit.edu 2001-03-21 13:37:43 ---- It probably works on Mandrake 8 because they always aim for RedHat compatibility, so they will use the same libraries as RedHat. I tried what you tried on 7.1 and it still gives the unresolved symbol. Hope Mandrake support is soon! ------- Additional Comments From mikef@praxis.etla.net 2001-03-29 11:44:15 ---- I don't know why this got reopened. I should investigate the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME situation, because I believed that you no longer needed to have it set. Either way, this isn't a bug that we're going to fix directly. It will go away when we support mandrake. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:08 -------
