Get the following error: "Fatal Error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library". See the steps to reproduce below... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download nightly build 2. Run the mozilla installer 3. After going through the setup screens, you get the above error message when the install starts to extract files from the xpi. Always get the error message while the message "Extracting libplc4.so..." appears on the install window. Actual Results: Got an error message during install and the install did not complete. Expected Results: The install should have completed without the error message. If you do a Google search on "xpistub library", you will find a bunch of users complaining about this problem. Maybe there is some more information in those reports.

you are probably seeing bug 59012. do you have the libstdc++ compatibility library (egcs++) installed?
Updated•22 years ago

QA Contact: bugzilla → ktrina
With egcs/egcs++ installed (compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.16.i386.rpm, compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16.i386.rpm, compat-egcs-g77-6.2-1.1.2.16.i386.rpm, compat-egcs-objc-6.2-1.1.2.16.i386.rpm, compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16.i386.rpm), the same error still occurs. This isn't the version of libstdc++ recommended in <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59012">bug 59012</a>'s summary, and someone else there reported trouble with the same version of libstdc++, but downgrading to compat-libstdc++6.2-2.9.0.9 broke too many dependencies for me to try it. Removing libsafe, as suggested <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59012#c5">here</a>, made the installer work, though.

I've tried to install mozilla 1.3 on my RH 7.2 desktop wich is up to date. Also compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16 is installes, but got the same error. After installing nautilus-mozilla, and RH's mozilla 1.0.1 rpms the bug is stil there, but with another error message: [root@hades mozilla-installer]# ./mozilla-installer-bin ./mozilla-installer-bin: relocation error: /tmp/xpi.VXQwdA/bin/libxpistub.so: undefined symbol: CreateInstance__18nsComponentManagerRC4nsIDP11nsISupportsRC4nsIDPPv libsafe is not installed

I have this same problem installing Mozilla 1.4b on Redhat Linux 6.1. I tried both the full installer as well as the net installer: mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4b-sea.tar.gz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4b-installer.tar.gz The installer quits with the error message: Fatal Error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library At the time the error appears the message "extracting libplc4.so" is shown above the progress bar in the installer dialog box. Note: I've had no problems installing the following versions on the same workstation: v1.0.1 v1.1 v1.2.1 v1.3a v1.3b v1.3 v1.4a I haven't tried v1.3.1. here's the info from about: on the version I'm currently running: Mozilla 1.4a Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

Well Boris I don't know how one would deduce that from the release notes which say in the system requirements section for Linux: # The following library versions (or compatible) are required: glibc 2.1, XFree86 3.3.x, GTK 1.2.x, Glib 1.2.x, Libstdc++ 2.9.0. Red Hat Linux 6.0, Debian 2.1, and SuSE 6.2 (or later) installations should work. # Red Hat 6.x users who want to install the Mozilla RPM must have at least version 4.0.2 of rpm installed. There is an official update to rpm from Red Hat. And I'm not using the RPM.

Comment 16•21 years ago

I have been periodically trying to install mozilla on SuSE 7.0 (kernel version: 2.2.16-SMP) without success for many months. In fact, I filed a bug about this before, which is no longer in bugzilla. I got the same replies and suggestions. However, there's no getting around it: It gives the error message: Fatal error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library ... and it won't install. This occurs despite the fact that my system meets all the system requirements listed in the README. This is a real bug, either of the installer or of the documentation. Note that the documentation is inconsistent. The Release Notes http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4b/#require and the README file that is bundled with the download list different requirements. Even within the Release Notes, the requirements listed under "System Requirements" are different from those under "Compatility Notes". The names of the downloaded files are also not correctin the documentation. I would like to be able to use Mozilla on my Linux machine, but I still can't.

I found the older bug. It's number was 130144. I wasn't able to find it at first because I thought I had filed it, but actually I only added a comment to it.

Even within the Release Notes, the requirements listed under > "System Requirements" are different from those under "Compatility Notes". The release notes requirements are correct. glibc 2.2 is required (included with Red Hat 7.x and higher). libstdc++ is currently statically linked (bug 204236) and so it doesn't matter what version you have.

Confirming this on 1.4. Note: this is a machine that runs 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 AND 1.3 without any problems at all. Downloaded linux installer from moz.org today, followed the instructions, ran the installer as a normal user, chose: Custom Navigator + MailAndNews + PersonalSecurityManager Changed the install directory to one where I had full priviledges Pressed the install button. Immediately got the error. Note: even attempting the same procedure as root, I get precisely the same problem, implying it's nothing to do with priviledges??
Comment 20•21 years ago

...on further investigation, following the comments in this bug and the associated ones, the problem was that I ran mozilla-installer-bin. This is mind-numbingly stupid - you have a file that is EXPLICITLY marked executable in the TAR.GZ, AND it starts the installer OK, and appears to be the correct file if you run it. But it crashes with a totally undecipherable error (to anyone except a developer, perhaps - note: there is no explanation, no suggested actions, nothing).

Confirming the problem with today's build on RedHat 8.0. I've successfully installed several nightly builds before, last 200304????; that was on RedHat 7.2. I located /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/libxpistub.so on my disk. But even if I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to its directory, mozilla-installer fails with the same "Fatal Error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library"

Just tried to install mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-full-installer.tar.gz for 11-24-2003 and got "Fatal error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library" Currently running Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031110 MultiZilla/1.5.0.4c installed from mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz for 11-10-2003 which is the latest nightly being pointed to by the developer web page.

The error Message "Fatal error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library" also happens if there wasn't enough discspace on path and/or on "/temp". Normaly mozilla should should bring "Not enough disc space".

Just tried to install mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-full-installer.tar.gz for 12-01-2003 with the same error. If the Mozilla development team really wants outside testing and participation, this needs to be fixed now. mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz has not been updated since 10-Nov-2003 10:30. That is the last version that worked for me.
Comment 26•21 years ago

The severity of the bug should be changed to "blocker" since the new Mozilla truck build won't even install. That is pretty much a blocker in my estimation. I have plenty of disk space, so that is not the problem.

Harddrive is one partition all root with 1664298 1k blocks free. /tmp is not a file system. FYI: The link on the Mozilla developers web page http://www.mozilla.org/developer/ for the Linux nightly build still points to mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz 10-Nov-2003 10:30
Comment 29•21 years ago

Using Debian Woody I also have this problem. I could install with the installer successfully on October 30. So there must be a recent problem causing it. Setting to blocker. Testing of the installer fails, so this component is blocked. Since it is important to work in the release, asking for blocking, even if it is late, sorry. pi

There may be problems with http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpinstall/wizard/unix/src2/nsXIEngine.cpp#662 aStub->handle = dlopen(libpath, RTLD_LAZY); As in some lines later we don't give the error message back to the user, we can't find out why this error occured and we can't reproduce it. I think we should, at the moment, replace DUMP(dlerr); by printf("DLError: %s", dlerr); so the users can report why it doesn't load the dynamic library. Would set this as blocking 1.6 not 1.6b

I cleard all cache from Mozilla. I followed the "Nightly Builds" link under testing on the developers page to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/ The file mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz and the date is still 10-Nov-2003 10:30. The other files are updated. The most recent file I see now is mozilla-win32-svg-GDI-mathml.zip with a date of 04-Dec-2003 09:58. I just used the Mozilla Linux link on the developers page under the "For Testers" to download the file the link points to. Doing a diff between the file I downloaded on 12-Nov-2003 finds no differences from the file I downloaded two minutes ago. 505 bash$ diff mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea1110.tar.gz 506 bash$ I would have suspected that since the file size is exactly the same, -rw------- 1 userxxx group 15244312 Dec 4 09:34 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz -rw------- 1 userxxx group 15244312 Nov 12 14:04 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea1110.tar.gz From a different host, I did and ftp connect to ftp.mozilla.org. ftp> pwd 257 "/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest" is current directory. ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for directory listing. total 523904 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 61890396 Nov 10 15:31 embed-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 1700149 Dec 3 17:21 gecko-sdk-i586-pc-msvc.zip -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 1233680 Dec 3 17:36 gecko-sdk-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 10842625 Dec 3 17:21 mozilla-i586-pc-msvc.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 root 7750 16545134 Dec 3 01:00 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-RH7.1-gnu-svg.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 11935539 Dec 3 17:44 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-full-installer.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 93954 Dec 3 17:44 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 15244312 Nov 10 15:30 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 12062797 Dec 3 17:51 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 15589324 Dec 3 14:46 mozilla-mac-MachO.dmg.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 7750 14955599 Dec 3 21:17 mozilla-os2.zip -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 29619800 Dec 3 19:07 mozilla-source.tar.bz2 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 37667217 Dec 3 19:13 mozilla-source.tar.gz -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 11784192 Dec 3 17:21 mozilla-win32-installer.exe -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 233472 Dec 3 17:21 mozilla-win32-stub-installer.exe -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 14275981 Dec 4 09:58 mozilla-win32-svg-GDI-mathml.zip -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 11878374 Dec 3 19:12 mozilla-win32-svg-libart-mathml.zip 226 Transfer complete. ftp> bye 221-You have transferred 0 bytes in 0 files. 221-Total traffic for this session was 2173 bytes in 0 transfers. 221-Thank you for using the FTP service on mozilla.isc.org. 221 Goodbye. 447 $ Notice -rwxrwxr-x 1 root 7750 15244312 Nov 10 15:30 mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz So this file has not been updated since Nov 10 at any site I can get to.

Excuse, my fault. Please use mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-full-installer.tar.gz instead of mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
Comment 35•21 years ago

No problem. I can do that, but mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-full-installer.tar.gz is what has been giving this error. The http://www.mozilla.org/developer/ web page needs to be updated. The link in the section at the bottom of the page that reads: Nightly Builds Created most weekdays from the previous day's work, these will probably work, but may not. Use them to verify that a bug you're tracking has been fixed. * Mozilla: Windows, Linux, MacOS X, etc. * Mozilla Firebird: Windows, Linux, MacOS X, etc. * Mozilla Thunderbird: Windows, Linux and MacOS X * Camino: MacOS X needs to be updated. The "* Mozilla: Windows, Linux, MacOS X, etc." Linux link points to mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz.

If the bug you see of late isn't explicitly about "Error [-618}", you are likely seeing bug 227105 / bug 227063. The problem is being worked on and is a blocker for 1.6b.
Comment 38•21 years ago

"Fatal Error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library" is the exact error message from the nightly mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-full-installer.tar.gz.
Comment 39•21 years ago
|

Ok, it seems nobody view the patch ... so I give you a compiled installer. Download http://www.opiswelt.de/mozilla/mozilla-installer-bin and copy the file to your latest mozilla-installer directory (so the old one is overwritten). Then start the mozilla-installer (not mozilla-installer-bin directly) ... after you get the error message you will see an error message on your console, please tell me what there stand. (Mabe you don't have libstdc++.so.5 it seems that this file isn't static compiled any more). But we will see.
Comment 40•21 years ago

It appears that the version of libc that is required has changed. ./mozilla-installer ./mozilla-installer-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by ./mozilla-installer-bin) ./mozilla-installer-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by ./mozilla-installer-bin) DLError: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./libxpcom.so) I have: l /lib/libc* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1459469 Jan 2 2003 /lib/libc-2.2.4.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 16 2003 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.4.so If mozilla installer did not hide the actual error, we would have found this far sooner. I also have a problem with changing the required versions of libraries in the middle of the development of a branch. I wonder how many others got zapped by this and just didn't bother to persue it.

(In reply to comment #49) > We never used pr_logging inside the installer. > > Normaly we need a rewrite of the installer GUI/process ... mybe then we can use > logging on every part of the installer. The installer does have ErrorHandler which should be used here, but it doesn't work in this case because the error dialog box doesn't block the installer from bailing. I filed bug 235139 to fix that.

The mozilla linux installer should give you output on the console starting with "DLError:" ... need the line to know what is missing. Does the non-installer linux build works?

As the last poster said, there is no output of the installer, only the gui-message I posted, nothing more on stdout. The following versions without installer work properly for me: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.7/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

I have seen this bug with Firefox nightly builds from the past few days and I have experienced it both with Mozilla 1.7 RC3 and Firefox 0.9 RC. The non-installer builds of both work fine.

Requesting blocking 1.8a2, there is a patch attached (it may need updating, I have no idea) and it is already reviewed. Plus it seems to be a trivial patch. (I would say 1.7 but it is almost out the door, AFAIK)
Flags: blocking1.8a2?

ok. the patch is in. I don't think there was ever a real bug resulting in the messsages (only failed library dependencies). resovling as FIXED.

Slackware 9.0, firefox 0.9x installer fails with the message described in this bug. "Couldn't open xpistub library." No console output. I downloaded and ran the "non-installer" version. That fails with the message: root@ellen:/usr/src/firefox# ./firefox ./firefox-bin: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by ./libnspr4.so) According to the README: -The following library versions (or compatible) are required: glibc 2.1, XFree86 3.3.x, GTK 1.2.x, Glib 1.2.x, Libstdc++ 2.9.0. Red Hat Linux 6.0, Debian 2.1, and SuSE 6.2 (or later) installations should work. root@ellen:/usr/src/firefox# ls -al /lib | grep libc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1435624 Mar 5 2003 libc-2.3.1.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 6 2003 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.1.so Mozilla 1.7 is working fine and I'll continue to use it. When I get around to upgrading to slack 10, I will try again. If this error message is accurate, then the README included with the firefox installation needs to be updated to describe the correct library requirements. Unless I've made some other mistake, this would seem to indicate that firefox has forked away from Mozilla in its base reqs. If the error message generated by the installer is the result of this error with glibc (or any other like it), then that is a bug in the installer -- it is generating an irrelevant and misleading error message. mp
