I am told that IE works, and that Mozilla displays things incorrectly by default but works when compiled with the --enable-ctl option. (Funny setup, to be broken by default, but even the release page http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.6b/known-issues-int.html mentions this. See also http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201746 .) (I tried a Mozilla build with --enable-ctl on a newly installed Debian system, but after getting a zillion error messages - yuk, didn't know that source was so dirty - the produced binary failed with errors like ./mozilla-bin: relocation error: mozilla/dist/bin/components/libeditor.so: undefined symbol: GetViewExternal__C8nsIFrameP14nsIPresContext or ./mozilla-bin: relocation error: mozilla/dist/bin/components/libgfx_gtk.so: undefined symbol: GetContent__C8nsIFrame The same errors occur without the --enable-ctl. Have not investigated further.) Andries -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
