From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020625 Description of problem: Evolution requires /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1 to be added to /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig run to be able to open a SSL connection. Otherwise when trying to make a connection to a server it just sittings there forever. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Evolution 2. Run Evolution 3. Setup an imap server and set SSL 4. Try to connect to server Actual Results: Evolution appears to try to connect but spins it's wheel's forever. Expected Results: Evolution to connect and messages from the server to be readable. Additional info: This problem started with the upgrade to Mozilla 1.0 and switching from /usr/lib/mozilla to /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.x
No, the mozilla 1.0.1 packages move the nss and nspr libs back into /usr/lib just for this reason and my fresh limbo install is working just fine. You do just have the evolution and mozilla packages from limbo installed, correct? If so, from a terminal if you run `CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution-mail`, wait five seconds, and then start evolution from another terminal, what do you see in the first terminal when it hangs?
I had been Evolution 1.0.8-1(custom build) and Mozilla 1.0.1-5(custom build with extra patches), but was using standard Limbo packages when I had the problem. So I did a rpm -e evolution galeon `rpm -qa | grep -i mozilla` and then installed the standard Limbo packages after mounting the iso images via loopback. I had removed /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1 from /etc/ld.so.conf, run ldconfig, and rebooted before returning to the standard packages. When I started evolution, for whatever reason, this time it worked just fine. I am pretty sure I restarted evolution multiple times before and it didn't work till I added the /etc/ld.so.conf entry, but it doesn't seem to be required now. I can't explain it. Feel free to close this bug :\ I did look into the mozilla packages, both the standard and my own, and found all the libraries had been moved back to /usr/lib except for /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/libnssckbi.so I know you might have a reason for leaving it there, but I thought I would point it out just in case.
Don't know about libnssckbi -- Chris?
Fixed in 1.0.1-5 which is in the tree now.
Do you mean 1.0.1-6? I am currently using a custom compile of 1.0.1-5 and have been since yesterday and it still has it in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1 [root@cygnusx-1 ~]# rpm -ql mozilla-nss-1.0.1-5 /usr/lib/libnss3.so /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/libsmime3.so /usr/lib/libsoftokn3.so /usr/lib/libssl3.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/libnssckbi.so
Look at your output. It's in both (on purpose, I might add.)
