[gentoo-dev] Opera 6.0 final.

[gentoo-dev] Opera 6.0 final.

[Arcady Genkin]

I've updated the opera ebuild to install 6.0 final version (adapted
from the -pre4 ebuild).  I've masked it out pending a little testing.
Could you guys try it out and see if it works for you?

Thanks,

Doesn't work for me.  When trying to run opera I get the following
error:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.1
libpng warning: Application  is running with png.c from libpng-1.0.12
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

Okay, I updated the ebuild to depend on libpng-1.2.1.

There are still unexplained (by me) problems:

With only version 1.0.12-r1 of libpng installed I get the following
error:

opera: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

With only version 1.2.1-r1 of libpng installed:

opera: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

With both versions 1.0.12-r1 and 1.2.1-r1 of libpng installed:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.1
libpng warning: Application  is running with png.c from libpng-1.0.12
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
Segmentation fault

With only 1.2.1-r1 installed but with 'ln -s libpng.so.3.1.2.1
libpng.so.2' opera 6.0 works but displaying many messages like:

libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

I could reproduce this.

Strangely, I was not seeing this.  On my system I had both versions of
libpng installed (by oversight) and that's why the ebuild worked for
me.  Looks like opera 6.0 is a mess as far as libpng dependency
goes...

I just tried the static version of opera, and it worked fine for me.
I think that I'm going to add an opera-static ebuild to portage.  It
will be useful (1) to people who don't want to have a copy of qt2 just
to run Opera, and (2) in cases like this.

Thanks for testing this,

FYI, I've just committed the opera-static package.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Opera 6.0 final.

[Avi Schwartz]

I figured the problem out and I posted a message about a solution in
gentoo-user.  The problem I had was not with Opera but rather with QT2. 
Here is the message which was titled "QT dependencies problem":

While investigating the reason for problems I had with Opera 6.0 final,
I found what my problem was and it had to do with multiple libpng
versions.

Apparently, on my system, qt-2.3.2-r1 was built when only libpng-1.2.1
was installed thus requiring libpng.so.3.

Opera was built using libqt 2.x and libpng.so.2 which corresponds with
libpng-1.0.12.

Because of the different versions of libpng used by Opera and one of its
dynamically loaded libraries (QT) it would seg fault.

Since Opera is available only as a binary, to fix it, I unmerged
libpng-1.2.1-r1, reemerged qt-2.3.2-r1 so it used the 1.0.12 version of
libpng, and then reemerged libpng to bring version 1.2.1 back to life.

Now the question:  should the dependency of qt-2 be changed so it
requires libpng-1.0.12 rather then the generic dependency on
media-libs/libpng and the ebuild modified to use the proper libpng
version?

I haven't filed a bug report since I am not sure if the problem is with
the ebuild, with Opera, or something else altogether.

Aahhh, what a mess!..  I don't know what to do in this situation.  It
seems that specifying libpng-1.0.12 as a dependency for qt2 would
solve the problem for opera, but it may break things for something
else, so I don't like that solution.

I suggest that we leave the things the way they are, and wait it out.
This is, obviously, a problem of transition from one version of
libpng to the other, which spans outside of gentoo project.  I think
that we should leave 6.0 masked; if somebody wants 6.0 final, they can
use the static package.

Thanks for figuring this out!

When opera6-final first came out and i installed it by editing the old *pre4.ebuild
i didn't have libpng.so.2 installed so i did #ln -s libpng.so.3.1.2.1 libpng.so.2

This worked without any problems for me, but a few days later i just emerged
libpng-1.0.12 and never touched my qt at all. This has worked fine for me also.

So i think you should be able to just list libpng-1.0.12 as an opera depends.

i have no prblems with the installation. the only message i get, when i'm 
starting opera is:

###
Unicode translation table file missing:
/usr/share/opera/unicode.dat

Character table file misssing:
/usr/share/opera/chartables.bin

Check your cinfiguration. Missing tables will limit display of
international text.
###

i don't have done any configuration. i only tested the setup. there was no 
problems and else it looks like that opera is running fine.

my installed libpng version: 1.2.1-r1

hanez... ;-)

Opera is looking in /usr/share/opera and the new ebuilds install the unicode.dat, buttons,
config, etc into /opt

So i reverted to the old *pre4.ebuild and edited that for opera-6.0-final so that everything
works the way opera expects.

The new ebuild installing into /opt should be fixed for this else you wont get the buttons,
config, unicode.dat  etc.

It *is* fixed. ;^)  The 6.0 final ebuild defines environment variable
OPERA_DIR=/opt/opera/share in /etc/env.d/10opera6, and therefore
OPERA_DIR should be present in /etc/profile.env.

If you re-login after merging opera 6.0 final, the problem should go
away.  I should have mentioned that, I guess.
