Working mozilla :-(

I can provide ssh access to anyone willing to fix this.

Server is opteron running fedora core2 test3 latest updates in x64-64 native
mode. Everything is 100% current.

Comment 1

[chris hofmann]

cls,  and thoughts on what is needed to get this working?

Comment 2

[Dan Hollis]

no idea.

as i stated in the bugreport, ssh access is open to anyone who wants to stab at
this bug. all you have to do is say 'yes'.

Comment 3

[cls]

Looks like a dupe of bug 239763.  At a glance, it looks like a 64bit glib1 bug
but someone will have to build a debug version of glib and verify this.

[Glenn Doig]

Hello I get the same errors too.
Glenn

a). Had to set LIBIDL_CONFIG=/opt/gnome/bin/libIDL-config-2
b). All 64 bit compiler tools from Suse 9.2 dvd
c). Note 34,359,738,368 bits = 4GB according to
http://www.terabyte.net/philosophy.htm
d). I saw that magic number (34359738368) listed elsewhere
Steps to Reproduce:
e.) Use Mozilla latest nightly tarball
f.) gmake -f client.mk build

[Andrew Schultz]

This is a dupe as cls mentioned.

If this is still a problem, please report it to your distro vendor so they can
push an updated glib that has the fix (which conceivably exists since other
people have compiled on amd64 just fine)
