Description

[Jarmo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux)

If I start Mozilla from command line I get a stack listing (... stands for complete path 
to mozilla):

Did you build with gtk2?  Do you have the GNOME libraries installed?

Comment 2

[Jarmo]

gtk2 : yes. 
Gnome : partly (Basically KDE) 
 
Has dependencies changed? 
As Mozilla has built on this computer before and Ive done no changes (beyond 
automated SuSE updates). 
 
My configure switches are: 
 
./configure --disable-pedantic --disable-ldap \ 
            --disable-logging --disable-tests \ 
            --enable-crypto --enable-optimize=-O2 \ 
            --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2

Probably bug 221217 

Comment 4

[Jarmo]

Still no luck with Mozilla (CVS from 10/10). Checked the file in question 
("/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.200.1" as noted in bug 221217). The file _is_ there. No 
need to create a dummy symlink. But still Mozilla crashes as before. 
 
Either I missunderstand "the fix" or this aint the same bug. 
 

Comment 5

[Jarmo]

Bug 221217 also talks about "/usr/lib/libgnome.so", dir /usr/lib/libgno*" gives nada on 
my system. 

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yeah, if you built with gtk2 and have no libgnome....
