I was running on 2004.3 with KDE 3.3.3 with firefox working fine. When I ran the 2004.3 -> 2005.0 upgrade script, it crashed quite early on, with - firefox not working, see below - autoload modules list trashed (no network, easily fixed) - XDM instead of KDM (still not working) Anyway its the lack of firefox that's really bugging me, as gmail isn't that hot in Konquerer. I managed to upgrade to 2005.0 via the manual procedure. <-- $ firefox No running windows found /usr/bin/firefox: line 515: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: No such file or directory firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127) --> I expect the "No running windows found" I normally run firefox from K->Run. The "No such file or directory" seems to be the problem. I tried googling but this is a very common error message. <-- $ ls -l /usr/bin/firefox lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec 30 06:02 /usr/bin/firefox -> /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher $ file /opt/firefox/firefox-bin /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped --> I immediately tried to sync & remerge the emul libraries and mozilla-firefox-bin, and only baselibs changed. I also tried removing the /usr/lib32 created by the upgrade, and sym-linking /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib instead, to no avail.
I believe I'm running emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.3 emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.2 emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-2.1.1 emul-linux-x86-xlibs-2.2.1 I used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_firefox_with_java_on_amd64 to do the install. Someone has added <Notice that those instructions are only interesting if you want to install the Sun Java JRE, because emul-linux-x86-java has been released, which also installs a Firefox plugin for the Blackdown JRE if you emerge it with the USE flag "nsplugin"!> I don't think it will help and its masked unstable. -- [email protected] mailing list
