But, the problem seems to be specific to firefox so there is no reason to suspect gtk, it could be something in X, or pango, or a graphics library. In my builds, firefox gets built well before gnome (after graphics libraries - X needs png, jpeglib hasn't changed in ages, and gecko browsers don't seem to use the other graphics libs), cairo, glib, pango, atk, gtk+), the only other thing is libIDL. In your case, maybe libgnomeui and its dependencies are also relevant (particularly libbonoboui, libgnomecanvas, libgnome, libbonobo, gnome-vfs). You are obviously not afraid to use newer versions - take a look at what you are using, and if you have the data, see what has changed since your last successful build.
I loathe the firefox build system (works fine on x86, but increasingly problematic on other architectures) and I try to avoid touching it, but perhaps you can persuade it that you don't have the required gnome dependencies (my logs show it checks for gnome-vfs-2.0 - search for that string to see what it is looking for), and rebuild it again without gnome-vfs to see if that is where the problem happens. I'm sorry, this isn't particularly helpful - I'm hoping to build a new desktop next week, but so far I haven't seen the problem. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
