112597 - GetFactory error for libpipnss.sl in Mozilla 0.9.6 (HP-UX 10.20 build)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[Thierry Emery]

The following error is reported a number of times in the Unix shell from which
the `mozilla' command is run, when starting Mozilla (5 times), opening a window
(3 times) or clicking on a form button (once):

**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader: GetFactory(<my path>/mozilla/components/libpipnss.sl)
Load FAILED with error: Exec format error
**************************************************

This does not prevent Mozilla from fetching over HTTP and rendering HTML pages
(all examples in the "Debug/Verification" submenu are handled).

For information:
 - the used build is
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.6/mozilla-hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20-0.9.6-1.2.10.tar.gz
 - the same error was observed with Mozilla 0.9.5 (using build
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.5/mozilla-hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20-0.9.5-1.2.10.tar.gz)
 - used libraries are:
   gettext-0.10.38
   glib-1.2.10
   gtk+-1.2.10

Product => PSM.

Comment 2

[Stephane Saux]

No such messages on Linux trunk build ID 2001112803 (PC).
This is probably an hpux issue, and the PSM team doesn't have hpux boxes.

Comment 3

[Jim Dunn]

reassigning this bug... to ME

Comment 4

[Jim Dunn]

can you try my 0.9.7 build.  Someone else reported a similar issue
and so I built 0.9.7 differently
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.7/mozilla-hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20-0.9.7-1.2.10.tar.gz

thanks & please let me know

Comment 5

[Jim Dunn]

Attachment: aCC security diff to correct to 1.1 architecture

Here are the diffs I used to correct the build issue with PSM on hp-ux10.20.
However, because of the mutiple-usage of psm (server & client) I can't
check these in... I just have to remember to apply them to every build

Comment 6

[Thierry Emery]

i have tried the 0.9.7 build indicated in additional comment #4 ; unfortunately
it does not solve the problem. When launching <my path>/mozilla/mozilla:

**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader: GetFactory(<my path>/mozilla/components/libgfx_gtk.sl)
Load FAILED with error: No such file or directory
**************************************************

is signaled once, then:

**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader: GetFactory(<my path>/mozilla/components/libgfx_gtk.sl)
Load FAILED with error: Not enough space
**************************************************

is signaled 4 times, then:

<my path>/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh[36]: 2603 Bus error(coredump)


Oh no!  <my path>/mozilla/mozilla-bin just dumped a core file.

Do you want to debug this ? You need a lot of memory for this, so watch out ?

For information:
- <my path>/mozilla/components/libgfx_gtk.sl does exist
- the core file size is 6400436 bytes
- 0.9.6 still works in the same way (no core dump) so i don't think the bus
error comes from a local library

Would you have an unstripped build so that gdb could try and locate this better?

Comment 7

[Jim Dunn]

are you sure you have gtk installed?
and that it is connect's 1.2.10 version?

usually when the "blah" gtk libraries don't
load it isn't finding one of those files.
/opt/gtk+/bin/gtk-config --version
should say 1.2.10

Comment 8

[Thierry Emery]

1. yes, gtk is installed and gtk-config returns 1.2.10
2. the same results are observed with either:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gtk/Development/glib-1.2.10/glib-1.2.10-ss-11.00.tar.gz
and
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/redirect?hpux/Gtk/Development/gtk%2B-1.2.10/gtk%2B-1.2.10-ss-11.00.tar.gz
compiled with /usr/ccs/bin/cc
   or:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz and
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/gtk+-1.2.10.tar.gz
compiled with gcc

Comment 9

[Jim Dunn]

2 things
first remove components.reg and rerun (this probably won't help
but want to make sure)

second can you try the following
set NSPR_LOG_MODULE=all:5
(export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5)
then run mozilla
this will dump out a TON of junk...
but it might give us some info on why those libs aren't loading.
All I need to see are the last 10 lines or so of the output...

Comment 11

[Jim Dunn]

i forgot about this... with the intro of xprint you need -lXp
I guess I should remove the -lXp dependency by building with
--disable-xprint.

Here is the background info that someone found.
................................................
For your information: I did find out what the problem was:
there are two shared libraries (components/libgfx_gtk.sl and
components/libgfxxprint.sl) that depend on a shared library called
/usr/lib/libXp.1.
This shared library is not installed on all of my systems and it seems,
that it comes as part of
  TechPrintSvcDK/TPS-SHLIBS
title "Technical Print Service Development Shared Libraries"
description "Vendor Name                             Hewlett-Packard Company

Product Name                            TPS
Fileset Name                            TPS-SHLIBS

The TPS-SHLIBS fileset contains shared libraries for the Technical Print
Service.

According to my investigations it is only available on systems with
Softbench being installed. As far as I could find out, it was only added
as a system default with HP-UX 10.30.

Comment 12

[Jim Dunn]

So with the latest 10.20  builds 1.0rc1 (or even 0.9.9)
are you still having problems???

Comment 13

[Thierry Emery]

In order to test this again i have installed Mozilla 1.0RC1 from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.0rc1/mozilla-hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20-1.0rc1.tar.gz

When i launch <my path>/mozilla/mozilla there are no error messages, but i get a
core dump.

gdb indicates:
Core was generated by `mozilla-bin'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
Unable to find __dld_flags symbol in object file.

I have tried the same tests as in comment #10:

*** Registering x-application-irc handler.
*** Registering irc protocol handler.

*** Registering smime account manager extension.

2. after removing <my path>/mozilla/component.reg and "export
NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5" (snipped):

Does that mean you want toi disable the Xprint module for release builds (we're
already having lots of complains that blizzard turned it "off" for his RedHat
RPM builds) ?

Comment 15

[timeless]

is this bug still a problem?

Comment 16

[Thierry Emery]

Not for me (submitter), as we are not using HP-UX 10.20 any more, and this bug has not occurred on other platforms that I have used.

Comment 17

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

I'm going to close this since it is old and related to a tier-3 platform (HP-UX).
