I don't know if this is specific to firefox.i386 on an x86_64 platform
for SL5.2 (which is what I have) or if it is more general. The printing
dialog only shows print to file until you do the following (as root):
ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8b /lib/libcrypto.so.4
ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8b /lib/libssl.so.4
The current firefox misses these libraries and yet "yum whatprovides
libssl.so.4" gives no results. Is this a dependency issue for firefox
or something more subtle?
On the i386 platform /lib/libssl.so.4 is provided (as a symlink to
libssl.so.0.9.7a) by the old openssl097a compat package.
There isn't the i386 version of that package in the x86_64 sl52 tree so it
can't be installed - well it can but not from the std repos :-)
However, I can't understand why your i386 firefox is wanting that library.
We have x86_64 boxes running sl52 with firefox.i386 (and no x86_64
firefox), and they offer a sane looking print dialog.
Nothing in the firefox-3.0.4 i386 rpm *appears* to be linked against that
version - though I'll admit that I managed to copy libflashsupport.so from
an older build-box which wanted it...
