Description Bill Nottingham 2010-12-24 04:31:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

1) xulrunner-2.0-0.9.b7 removes the ld.so.conf.d file (bug 658471), which causes libgjs to not find libmozjs.so.
2) xulrunner-2.0-0.12b8.fc15 changes the libmozjs.so ABI, such that libgjs fails to find a needed symbol (JS_GetStringBytes, JS_GetFunctionName)

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

gjs-0.7.7-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attempt to run gnome-shell
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2010-12-24 04:53:12 UTC 
And... this is fixed with gjs-0.7.8, which requires gobject-introspection-0.10.0 to build, which breaks current rawhide gnome-shell, so you need new gnome-shell, which requires new mutter, which requires new gtk, etc.

Sorry for the current broken state - we'll get Rawhide all sorted sorted out once people get back next year. GTK+ is supposed to stop changing soon, and hopefully Spidermonkey will too.
Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2011-01-23 15:39:40 UTC 
Fixed now in rawhide
