Kevin, My archlinux distro provides a js24 package that works with edbrowse 3.5.1, as does Fedora and a growing list of other distros. Debian's release does not yet work with edbrowse however. The team here mostly worked with the mozjs24 from Mozilla until the supported packages came along. I don't recall having difficulties compiling the Mozilla release, but the others can be more helpful, I'm sjre.
