Having gotten a sufficiently-recent version of glib, I am now

Abort trap (core dumped)
Of course, since it won't start up, I can't consult Help/About
to find out the version :( but based on /var/db/pkg I think it is
firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1
I suppose Firefox and OpenOffice are tripping over each other WRT
the version of some shared library, but I thought the whole point
of having version numbers on shared libs was to prevent that sort
of problem.
Does anyone have Firefox and OpenOffice coexisting on a single
system? How is it accomplished?

Perry,
It isn't easy is it. I am not sure why FireFox quit working like
that. When I created the new glib for my box I was still running
mozilla 5.0 and didn't have any trouble with it. I wonder if it has
something to do with gtk+. I am running FireFox 1.5.0.6 that I
downloaded the tarball and compiled.
Let me know if you figure this out.

I am also running FireFox and OpenOffice. I tend to install packages for
workstations. With OpenOffice the version on FreeBSD works okay, you just have
to manually install the prereqs. The other thing I do is start fresh with a new
version. I.e., I do not cvsup 4.x --> 5.0.
Maybe if you did pkg_info -rRx for both packages something in common (conflict)
would suggest itself.
