Description Flags
cleanear workaround - exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in devhelp script none

Description George Karabin 2004-04-06 21:56:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

The new devhelp is embedding gecko for HTML (spiffy) but it's caused a
hiccup, at least on my box.

$ devhelp
/usr/bin/devhelp-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libgtkembedmoz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.9-1

How reproducible:

100%

Additional info:

I'm not sure why devhelp has the problem and epiphany doesn't. Both
are dynamically linked against /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/libgtkembedmoz.so. 

The quick hack is to fix up ld.so.conf with the path or symlink from
mozilla lib location to something already in the standard ld.so path,
pushing it to a mozilla packaging issue. But since epiphany doesn't
have a problem, maybe there's a better way to handle it that ought to
be pushed upstream to devhelp, or maybe it's a build time option?

cleanear workaround - exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in devhelp script

This workaround is perhaps cleaner than hacking ld.so.conf. The epiphany
wrapper script does the same thing. 

Oddly enough, after playing a bit, it appears epiphany-bin is linked to the
absolute path /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6, so exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH probably isn't
needed there. However, devhelp-bin isn't, but the wrapper script doesn't export
the variable.

Applied, thanks!
