Comment 1 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2010-12-19 12:23:47 UTC 
I think this libmojs error happens when xulrunner was upgraded. You should rebuild everything by running jhbuild build -acf gnome-shell.
Comment 2 Tshepang Lekhonkhobe 2010-12-19 16:08:15 UTC 
I did this, and am still getting the same error.
Comment 3 Tshepang Lekhonkhobe 2011-03-25 19:07:58 UTC 
I removed (and reinstalled) the JHBuild installation, and still got the same problem. My workaround is:

ln -s /opt/gnome/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.15/libmozjs.so /opt/gnome/lib

I read your suggestion too quickly. What I did instead is 'jhbuild buildone -acf gnome-shell'.
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2011-04-05 07:27:16 UTC 
FWIW, I'm seeing this too, even though I haven't build xulrunner myself. As a workaround, I simply linked /usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0/libmozjs.so to $libdir.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2012-02-07 20:47:04 UTC 
Tshepang / Vincent: Do you still see this problem?
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2012-02-08 15:12:07 UTC 
Haven't seen this for ages.
Comment 8 Tshepang Lekhonkhobe 2012-02-10 11:18:27 UTC 
Not happening for me either, maybe  due to me having a different setup, maybe  cuz it's fixed somewhow; Am closing this regardless.
