The totem configure process explicitly looks for firefox/mozilla because of the totem mozilla plugin. gnomemeeting does not.
The problem with building gnomemeeting is the implicit dependence on gecko nspr/nss libs arising from an explicit dependence on libedataserver-1.2.so. gnomemeeting has no explicit dependence on any component of firefox so configure does not look for it. On systems that install mozilla rather than firefox, the nss/nspr libs are usually installed under /usr/lib which is always in the library search path. The other mozilla libs are usually installed under /usr/lib/mozilla-1.x.y. The firefox build, as currently configured, places *all* libs under $(libdir)/firefox-1.x.y. I see two choices: (1) add a post-install target to the FF GAR Makefile to link the nss/nspr libs to $(libdir) (2) modify the firefox build so it installs its nss/nspr libs in $(libdir) -Joseph ====================================================================== On Sat, 2005-10-01 at 09:36 -0700, Bob Kashani wrote: > On Sat, 2005-10-01 at 11:56 -0400, Joseph E.
