Yes this is expected since the new nss/nspr is still pending. It will disappear once nss/nspr are out. Right, so when the new nss/nspr are due? The last update was in January-February 2013...

Created attachment 750485 [details] Output of strace pkg-config --variable=libdir libxul Description of problem: ------------------------------ I was trying to rebuild the firefox RPM on official RHEL 6.4. The build was failing and I traced it to an incorrect behavior of the pkg-config command. Current version of pkgconfig: pkgconfig-0.23-9.1.el6.x86_64. In more detail, the commands "pkg-config --variable=sdkdir libxul" or "pkg-config --variable=libdir libxul" exit prematurely without reporting nothing. On this machine I have the appropriate xulrunner rpms installed: xulrunner-devel-17.0.6-2.el6_4.x86_64 xulrunner-17.0.6-2.el6_4.x86_64 And the file "libxul.pc" contains all the necessary information: # cat /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libxul.pc prefix=/usr sdkdir=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-devel-17.0.6 includedir=/usr/include/xulrunner-17.0.6 idldir=/usr/share/idl/xulrunner-17.0.6 libdir=/usr/lib64/xulrunner Name: libxul Description: The Mozilla Runtime and Embedding Engine Version: 17.0.6 Requires: nspr >= 4.9.5 Libs: -L${sdkdir}/lib -lxpcomglue_s -lxul -lxpcom -lmozalloc Cflags: -I${includedir} -fshort-wchar How reproducible: --------------------------------- Reproducible in 100% of cases. Additional info: ---------------------------------- I attach to this bug report the output of strace pkg-config --variable=libdir libxul
