453609 - Firefox 3.01 unable to run on CENTOS 4.6 x86_64 because of libpangocairo 32-bit dependency

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Les Oswald]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-GB; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16
Build Identifier: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=linux&lang=en-GB

Firefix 3.01 will not start on Centos 4.6 64bit because it is a 32-bit application linked to the 32-bit libpangocairo shared object library. This is not present in default Centos but installing the "frysk" package makes libpangocairo available in the correct version.

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/lib64/frysk does not allow Firefox to start as it is of course a 64-bit library

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/frysk:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
2./opt/firefox/firefox
3.
Actual Results:  
Won't load citing can't find the library

./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



Expected Results:  
application startup
