198562 - Realplayer plugin no longer recognized in 1.3 gtk2+xft+gcc 3.2 builds

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178805

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Roberto Totaro]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313

Switching from 1.3 beta to 1.3 the Realplayer 8.0 plugin stopped working (it
doesn't even show up in the "about:plugins" page) and plugger is no longer
properly working (it seems to start the correct helper application, but nothing
is visible).

These two plugins used to work perfectly with the 1.3 beta. The only change in
my configuration was the upgrade to 1.3.

I tried removing the plugins and re-installing them with no success (same
problems as before). I also completely deleted the .mozilla directory, but that
did not help either.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:

did you read the release notes? you were probably using the Red Hat 8 RPMS.

Comment 2

[Roberto Totaro]

I read the release notes, however there are two things I do not know:

1) how can one tell gcc 3.2 compatible plugins apart from incompatible ones?
2) I assumed 1.3 beta was compiled with gcc 3.2, wasn't it?

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Reopening.  dmose says that Real works with a gcc 3.2 build.  So the current
suspect is gtk2.

Roberto: the 1.3b builds were not built with gcc 3.2.

with current trunk gtk2/xft+gcc3.2 build, I get this:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library mozilla/dist/bin/plugins/rpnp.so
[mozilla/dist/bin/plugins/rpnp.so: undefined symbol: __pure_virtual]

doesn't really look like it's related to gtk2

Comment 6

[tenthumbs]

FWIW, __pure_virtual is defined in the realplay executable which suggests the
plugin can't find it.

Comment 7

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

Once again, compiler issues.  gtk2 is not the problem here.  (This is making me
nuts.)

Reopening - sorry blizzard !

A GTK1 Build compiled with GCC3.2 works but a GCC3.2 build with GTK2 not.
How should this be a compiler issue ?

> A GTK1 Build compiled with GCC3.2 works but a GCC3.2 build with GTK2 not.

my CVS/gtk2 build still gives the error I mentioned in comment 5.  my
gcc3.2/gtk1/debug build does not give that same error, but it crashes instead
(filed bug 205766).

is this a dupe of bug 178805?

Comment 15

[Thomas Chung]

I'm pretty sure this is also related to Mozilla 1.4 for Red Hat Linux 8.
As soon as I upgrade to Mozilla 1.4 from Mozilla 1.3 using RPM packages for Red
Hat Linux 8, Real Player 8 stop working.

So I removed all RPM pacakges for Mozilla 1.4 and installed Tarball instead.
Guess what? Real Player 8 is working again.

Comment 16

[a.jaffe-bugzilla]

I have the same problem after upgrading to the 1.4 RPMs under RedHat 9:
realplayer 8 (installed from RPMs) works under plugger, but the realplayer
plugin itself does not. On occasion I seem to get the __pure_virtual error, but
this may have gone away after trying a slightly different set of Realplayer8 rpms.

marking dupe of "...make existing linux flashplayer & real binaries work with
gcc 3.1 builds] to gtk2"
