Hi,

I have built Gears (slightly old revision, r1935) for Firefox2 on
Linux. To save time on repeated xpi installations, I created a file in
my firefox profile extension folder to point to the location where
gears is build and added its components folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATHs.
i.e. google-gears/gears/bin-dbg/installers/gears-linux-dbg-0.3.25.0 .
Now, while the Gears add-on does show up in the list of add-ons, Gears
doesn't work. i.e. Gears JS objects don't get registered and clicking
on "Google Gears Settings" doesn't pop up a dialogue. I also tried
installing the built xpi directly, but still no Gears JS objects. If I
install the xpi from the web, then the libs are loaded and Gears JS
objects are registered. Am I missing something?

Also, is there a page or a set or practices on how to set up a test
and debug Gears environment on Firefox on Linux?

Thanks,
