Confirming.  Thanks for the analysis.  I downloaded the nightlies to test out
this and you're right.  It seems the LINUX installer only segfaults when the DOM
Inspector is enabled as an option.  You can do a custom install without the
Inspector and have it work.  Enable only the inspector or inspector + foo, and
segfault.

I also downloaded yesterday's builds and they too do NOT work with the inspector.

Confirming on:
Linux 2001112906
Linux 2001112908
Linux 2001112913
Linux 2001112921
Linux 2001113006

cc'ing hewitt who enabled this.

tar is throwing an error at me (see output), also note there is no inspector.xpi
(or whatever) in the .xpi list.

Comment 5

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

On further inspection (no pun intended), it appears that DOM Inspector is not
even being BUILT for linux.  The FTP areas have no inspector.xpi available.

Comment 6

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

Filed bug 112868 about inspector.xpi not being either built or sent to the ftp area.

Comment 7

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

Workaround: install the tarball (tar.gz) which has inspector enabled.

Attachment: stack trace using 2001-12-01-06 linux installer

installer dumped core after downloading everything.

Comment 10

[Darin Fisher]

since stack trace involves nsFTPConn perhaps downloading was actually not yet
complete.

I believe this problem is related to the new bug report I just filed:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113144

See my Additional Comment #2 for a possible solution.

Attachment: patch

looks like the xpi doesn't get built because I mis-named a file in the package
list.

Comment 13

[Joe Hewitt (gone)]

Checked in fix, I'll wait until after tomorrows builds confirm that this worked
before I mark this fixed.

[walter sheets]

inspector.xpi still is not in
/ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2001-12-03-08-trunk/linux-xpi/

That is where it should be, yes?

And of course it is not in the linux-sea tarball either :-(
