found out why: both libxul-dev and xulrunner-dev are installed ; and I was building the wrong version. Doh. There is something fishy with the gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser symbol... it should be .hidden. This is what it looks like on amd64: 0000000000000000 *UND* 0000000000000000 .hidden gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser and alpha: 00000000000003e0 GPRELHIGH gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser 00000000000003f4 GPRELLOW gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser It is defined as: typedef void ( * gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowserType) (GtkMozEmbed *embed, nsIWebBrowser **retval); extern gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowserType gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser __attribute__((visibility("hidden"))); And the real place where it is defined is dh-gecko-utils.cpp, where, once compiled, it looks like, on alpha: 00000000000000d0 g O .sbss 0000000000000008 gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser 000000000000066c ELF_LITERAL gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser 0000000000005dc0 REFQUAD gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser 00000000000001b8 REFQUAD gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser and on amd64: 00000000000000d0 g O .bss 0000000000000008 gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser 00000000000003ee R_X86_64_GOTPCREL gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser+0xfffffffffffffffc 0000000000005cc2 R_X86_64_64 gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser 00000000000001c8 R_X86_64_64 gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser FWIW, there are these warnings while building dh-gecko-utils.cpp: /usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/unstable/./gtkmozembed_glue.cpp:101: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules. This warning occurs when preprocessing to get to this code: static const nsDynamicFunctionLoad GtkSymbolsInternal[] = { { "gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser", (NSFuncPtr*) >k_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser }, { "gtk_moz_embed_get_title_unichar", (NSFuncPtr*) >k_moz_embed_get_title_unichar }, { "gtk_moz_embed_get_js_status_unichar", (NSFuncPtr*) >k_moz_embed_get_js_status_unichar }, { "gtk_moz_embed_get_link_message_unichar", (NSFuncPtr*) >k_moz_embed_get_link_message_unichar }, { "gtk_moz_embed_set_directory_service_provider", (NSFuncPtr*) >k_moz_embed_set_directory_service_provider }, { "gtk_moz_embed_set_app_components", (NSFuncPtr*) >k_moz_embed_set_app_components }, { 0, 0 } }; There is a global gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowserType gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser; defined right before (likewise for other members of this array), and even before, there is the same definition as for Yelper.cpp (see above). If this is a toolchain issue, this can surely be worked around by creating a wrapper function in dh-gecko-utils.cpp to get replace the gtk_moz_embed_get_nsIWebBrowser in Yelper.cpp. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
