83282 - Mozilla wont start (errorcode 139) for some users

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 42184

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Dennis Haney]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686)
BuildID:    0.9 (cant get date, it wont start)

Mozilla wont start for some users even though the setup is completly the same.

starting the mozilla gives this reply:

grerr ~/ > mozilla
/usr/local/dikunix/work/mozilla/linux/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh
/usr/local/dikunix/work/mozilla/linux/mozilla/mozilla-bin

      MOZ_TOOLKIT=
        moz_debug=0
     moz_debugger=
Exit 139

It usually takes a half second or so to give the errorcode.

Starting with -d opens up ddd which complains about not being able to locate
libgkgfx.so which is right in front of it, so no luck there.

The really wierd part is that it will start for some users (fx. the user who
installed it), but as stated not for others (the majority).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla

Actual Results:  Error code 139

Expected Results:  Mozilla starting ;)

How was Mozilla installed?  Was it from tarball?  If so did the installer run 
./regxpcom && ./regchrome ?

requests? :-)

I'll get back to you when we've installed 0.9.1 (or .2) as 0.9 was installed,
which was with the official tar.gz file and what was written in the readme notes
were followed point by point.
I did however try to install 0.9.1 as myself in another dir, and there were no
problems running it (except auto proxy is still broken), but didnt try with
other users.
