Perhaps we don't often run browsers in our 390 distros, but sometimes we have to. We use X-Windows for this; pretty clunky but it works. Usually.
Our SLES 11 used to run Firefox just fine, but we hadn't used it in some time. Now, it's broke and we're working the issue with SuSE/Novell support, but we need someone whose Firefox works on S390x SLES 11.4 to *please* show us the output from: ldd firefox ...so we can see what libraries show up and compare to what we get. (But be sure your FF *does* run OK in your X-Windows!) Our support guy only has x86 KVMs to test with, unfortunately, and the libraries are different there. Your Firefox presumably lives in: /usr/lib64/firefox Plus, good to have the output from: cat /etc/ld.so.conf Extra credit if anyone sees a big clue in the specific crash behavior, which is ever-repeating long messages about a "GraphicsCriticalError" in which there are many "Unknown image format" errors; this all but stops the rendering, and makes the FF window unresponsive. I'm brand new to even thinking about Linux shared libraries and all their plumbing, so any sage comments about that are also welcome. Many thanks! /John
