Summary: V 1.3beta doesn't run on Solaris 2.8 → V 1.3beta pre-compiled binary doesn't run on Solaris 2.8
Roland: Is that your build ?
You are aware of the Release notes / bug 88205? Did you compile your own Gtk libraries?
Yes. I compiled GTK 1.2.10 and all required patches have been applied.

OS: SunOS → Solaris
The 8_Recommended and security patches currently on our systems were downloaded and applied February 1.
Mark Leisher: Did you compile the GDK/GTK+ libraries with gcc ? gcc-compiled shared libraries may be incompatible with binaries build using Sun Workshop, only shared libraries build with Sun Workshop will work with both gcc and Sun Workshop binaries... ;-(
Our GDK/GTK+ were compiled with gcc. I suspected this was the problem. We don't use Sun Workshop and probably never will. I hope this dependency will be going away soon. I'll just build Mozilla here in the meantime. Vielen Dank, Roland.

That's unlikely since this is a bug in gcc, not in Sun Workshop or Mozilla. Maybe gcc 3.x is fixed - or not. I did not had the time to investigate that (nor does it make much sense - even Mozillas compiled with gcc3.x are slower than those build with Sun Workshop... ;-/ ). BTW: The sourceforge compilefarm has Solaris 8 machines with Sun Workshop installed; alternatively you may try the GDK/GTK+ packages from http://www.sunfreeware.com/ ... :)
Ok. I wasn't aware of the gcc problem. I just installed gcc 3.2.2. I'll see if that works properly.
Mark Leisher wrote: > Ok. I wasn't aware of the gcc problem. Maybe we should add that part to the release notes... :) And IMHO it would be nice if someone files a bug that mozilla.org should put some "known to be good/working" versions of libGDK/libGTK/libGLIB/etc. on ftp.mozilla.org to cure this mess (feel free to assign it to me :) ...

Ok. The problem compiling GLIB/GTK 1.2.10 with gcc still exists in version 3.2.2.
Is this still a problem with new builds? pi
No response, closing. pi
