Linux gtk2 builds broken?

Post by Old Persist »

The official linux gtk2+xft builds don't work for me at the moment. The build from the 29th of Sept works but all the gtk2 builds since don't run. There's been some discusion of it in this thread http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 487#215487 but the title doesn't mention gtk2, it seems to have wandered off topic a bit and I thought it should be in Firebird bugs.

Which version of Linux do you use? I wonder if that makes a difference. I should have said in the original post I use Mandrake 9.1 and it doesn't matter if I use KDE or Gnome, current gtk2 nightlies aren't working.

I have the same problem.
I'm running Gentoo GNU/Linux and compiled Firebird-CVS with GCC-3.3.1-r4 and got a segmentation-fault error.

First I thought that it's a Gentoo-specific problem, but the same happened with the newest precompiled nightly-build.
Error:

Code: Select all

/home/lems/MozillaFirebird/run-mozilla.sh: line 454: 19383 Segmentation fault                                                                                              "$prog" ${1+"$@"}


Now, I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20030929 Firebird/0.7+ which runs just fine.

Has the bug been fixed in the meanwhile???

Coz I'm still experiencing it, and I would like to go use Firebird.

Help appreciated!

Okay, I reversed the patch for bug 128688 (Use GNOME application associations) on my local source tree, and voila! it works now. There is now no question in my mind that bug 128688 is at fault here.

It's this line

_gnome_program_init("Gecko", "1.0", _libgnome_module_info_get(),
1, argv, NULL);

in
uriloader/exthandler/unix/nsGNOMERegistry.cpp

If you don't have gnome installed then the _gnome_program_init is a NULL.
