I am having problems with Firefox 8 myself.
I've built xulrunner and firefox separately with no problems, but when I
try to execute firefox, it comes back with the following message:
Could not read application.ini
Googling comes up with a lot of hits, but no real solutions.
Strace produces the following:
mmap(0x7f5a2c600000, 1048576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f5a2c600000
stat("/usr/local/bin/firefox", 0x7fff5744a408) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("/bin/firefox", 0x7fff5744a408) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat("/usr/bin/firefox", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=65128, ...}) = 0
lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat("/usr/bin", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=36864, ...}) = 0
access("/usr/bin/xulrunner/libxpcom.so", R_OK) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a
directory)
open("/usr/bin/application.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
write(2, "Could not read application.ini\n", 31Could not read
application.ini
) = 31
exit_group(1)
Not sure why it would be checking /usr/bin/xulrunner/libxpcom.so since
/usr/bin/xulrunner is a symbolic link to a script.
Anyway copying the application.ini file to /usr/bin, just takes it to
the next problem:
Could not find the Mozilla runtime.
It seems to me that it is confusing /usr/lib with /usr/bin ?
The mozconfig I used is pretty much the same as what is current in the
BLFS book with slight alterations.
Any pointers to what the problem might be?
Thanks,
Wayne.
