Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[Amit D Chaudhary]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686; en-US;0.6) Gecko/20001205
BuildID:    0.6

I tried installing PSM from the website it did not work. Then I went and
downloaded PSM from the iplanet website and even that does not work. After the
installation neither mozilla nor psm run, error
./mozilla-bin: error in loading shared libraries: ./libgkgfx.so: undefined
symbol: __vt_28nsCreateInstanceByContractID  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mozilla 0.6, I am using linux kernel 2.2.17, but was originally
redhat 6.2
2. Then install psm(Personal Security Manager) in the same directory.
3. Run either ./start_psm or mozilla

Actual Results:  There are errors regarding undefined symbols in the libraries.
Examples include:
**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader:
SelfRegisterDll(/usr/local/mozilla/components/libimport.so) Load FAILED with
error: /usr/local/mozilla/components/libimport.so: undefined symbol:
__vt_24nsGetServiceByContractID
**************************************************
**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader:
SelfRegisterDll(/usr/local/mozilla/components/libmsgdb.so) Load FAILED with
error: ./libmsgbaseutil.so: undefined symbol: do_AppendFromElement__8nsStringUs
**************************************************
**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader:
SelfRegisterDll(/usr/local/mozilla/components/libabsyncsvc.so) Load FAILED with
error: ./libmsgbaseutil.so: undefined symbol: do_AppendFromElement__8nsStringUs  

Expected Results:  Mozilla should run and I can use https: urls

Reporter, 0.6 is a very old Mozilla build (it's from the Netscape 6.0 branch, 
which branched in September -- see http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html).  Can 
you reproduce this problem with a recent nightly?

Reporter, Mozilla 0.7 will come out this week and contains PSM installed by
default, and best of all, it works (at least for other linux people it does).
I suggest you download 0.7 instead of keeping 0.6.
Thanks!
Fabian.

Will try 0.7 when it is released and report back.

FYI, others also had the same issue.
