213605 - symbol conflict between internal & external versions of expat causes crash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 119934

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[The Written Word]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.7 (X11; Linux)
Build Identifier: 

Mozilla 1.4 builds on IRIX 6.5 against GTK+ 2.x but SEGVs on startup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




When Mozilla is built on IRIX 6.5 with GTK+ 2.x, the GTK+ dependent libraries
are included in the DT_RPATH (runtime path) entry for the Mozilla binary.
Because GTK+ depends on fontconfig which depends on expat, the expat library is
included in the DT_RPATH entry. The symbols from the expat-1.95.6 library
conflict with the internal symbols names in the private mozilla expat library.

The only solution I have found is to rename the Mozilla expat functions.
