[gentoo-user] Firefox 2.0 and gentoo

[Roberto Martinez]

Well, I've done research and found nothing, except that it happens only on  
gentoo ...

It appears that any mozilla product segfaults on my gentoo box both binary  
and from source. Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey.

At first i thought it was mozilla-launcher :

> /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 117:  6048 Segmentation fault       
> "$mozbin" "$@"

but when I ran the binary directly :

> Segmentation fault

I have reemerged gtk+ and no luck.

Anything else I would need to try ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128221

I've not had it lately, but its been a known bug. Nobody seems to know
what exactly causes it. I know from experience tho, -ffast-math is bad
bad bad when playing with firefox, ie: firefox-bin + hand-compiled
plugin ( ie: mplayerplug-in) using -ffast-math , might = unstability.

Post CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS, GCC versions, Firefox/mozilla versions &
launcher versions please.

See how you get on with 1.56, 1.52 is at least 3 months old now, and
ive not seen any issues myself with 1.56.

Why don't try the binaries that Mozilla offer in his web page?? (At
http://www.mozilla.com)

this sort of thing is often due to inconsistent/missing libraries

1. run revdep-rebuild
2. `ldd /usr/bin/firefox` and look for inconsistent/missing libraries
3. `strace /usr/bin/firefox` and see if where it dies gives a clue

revdep-rebuild came up with some libraries, but I think I might have an  
issue with Portage as I've noticed that /etc/portage does not point  
anywhere... Any ideas where its supposed to symlink ? #gentoo is not very  
helpful ( at least the peers )

Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.0.2".


revdep-rebuild failed to emerge all packages
you have the following choices:

- if emerge failed during the build, fix the problems and re-run  
revdep-rebuild
     or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (trys to rebuild package,  
not exact
   ebuild)
     or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask
   (and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again)
     or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
     or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files  
and
   try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)

To remove temporary files, please run:
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*

Thanks in advance.

/etc/portage should be a directory, not a symlink. This is where you
create package.keywords to enable ~ARCH builds, package.unmask to
enable explicitly masked packages, package.use to set per-package USE
flags, etc.

The symlink you're thinking of is /etc/make.profile and it should
point to something like
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop.

As a general rule, I always run revdep-rebuild with -p and ignore any
gripes about openoffice-bin. Openoffice-bin comes with a lot of
private libraries the supercede those in /usr/lib and reddep-rebuild
doesn't know how to resolve those correctly.

There's no ebuild for openoffice-bin-2.0.2 because that release is no
longer in portage. Running emerge -u openoffice-bin will upgrade you
to 2.1.0 which is currently the only open office binary release in
portage.

Running ldd on /usr/bin/firefox won't give any useful information
since that is just a script that runs mozilla-launcher with the real
binary. Instead, run ldd on /usr/lib/mozilla-firefor/firefox-bin which
is the actual binary. You should not get any 'not found' messages. If
anything is 'not found' then you need to move on to which package
needs to be rebuilt.
