Description apost 2001-09-10 01:08:32 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.

Mike, we have a Mandrake system available in the lab to try this on.

Maciej, would you consider this a GNOME 1.4 blocker?

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.

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?

Not a 1.0 blocker.

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.

- 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.

.... 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!

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.
