Oh bother...I forgot how firefox works -- it queries the xserver whether a firefox instance is already running. And if it is, the remote request opens local windows. This doesn't test quite enough. I quit my local firefox, and then firefox --profilemanager just produces the same bus error. I put firefox1.5 (compiled under 10.4) back in place of firefox2. Same bus error: firefox --profilemanager Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file /sw/lib/firefox1.5/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 84881 Bus error "$prog" ${1+"$@"} I looked at my working machine and it has the same fontconfig mess. And the same firefox1.5. I'll do some more comparisons. OpenOffice.org works on both machines, and also depends on fontconfig2. So the fontconfig mess might not matter that much after all. -- Viv > >> Also, the fontconfig package you wanted to remove in the first message >> is "fontconfig-config", not "fontconfig-conf" (which is partially cut off). > > Yeah, that's not the problem...the problem is that all the > outdated fontconfig stuff is interdependent and won't purge > or update: > > /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait --remove fontconfig-config > dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of > fontconfig-config: > fontconfig2-shlibs depends on fontconfig-config (= > 2.4.1-4). > > and > > /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait --remove fontconfig2-shlibs > dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of > fontconfig2-shlibs: > firefox2 depends on fontconfig2-shlibs. > imagemagick depends on fontconfig2-shlibs (>= 2.2.3-10). > firefox2-shlibs depends on fontconfig2-shlibs. > cairo-shlibs depends on fontconfig2-shlibs. > gimp2-shlibs depends on fontconfig2-shlibs. > fontconfig2-dev depends on fontconfig2-shlibs (= 2.4.1-4). > imagemagick1-shlibs depends on fontconfig2-shlibs (>= > 2.2.3-10). > openoffice.org depends on fontconfig2-shlibs; however: > > and > > fink install fontconfig2-shlibs > Information about 6678 packages read in 2 seconds. > Can't resolve dependency "system-xfree86-dev (>= 2:7.2-1)" > for package > "fontconfig2-dev-2.4.1-102" (no matching packages/versions > found) > > What is supposed to be providing system-xfree86-dev? > > Many thanks for all the help from everyone, especially given > my unsupported system. > > -- Viv > > (*) the X11 on this machine is an even worse hybrid...it's > intel 10.5 with Leopard's X11 + updates, and xorg compiled > on 10.4 intel, plus I dropped in Tigers X11.app to solve the > "yellow cursor" problem.
