I've put together a tutorial that shows off how to build a GUI
application using XULRunner (same architectural components as Firefox
uses) that can be used in conjunction with the Python programming language.
The tutorial covers how to build a Python/XULRunner GUI
application:http://pyxpcomext.mozdev.org/no_wrap/tutorials/pyxulrunner/python_xul...
I get to the "Running" step and run into "Couldn't load XPCOM."
Does this work on x86_64? Or have I made a rookie mistake?
Hi Don,
A good question. Mozilla only provide 32-bit XulRunner applications by
default, you you'll need to install the necessary 32-bit compatability
libraries on your Linux machine, i.e. for Ubuntu it's something like:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
Then you should be able to run the example. You can check the
dependencies using something the following commands, there should be no
missing dependencies:
$ cd pyxpcom_gui_app/xulrunner
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ldd ./xulrunner-bin
It is possible to use a 64-bit version, but you'll need to compile this
yourself (or find somewhere that provides these x86_64 versions). Note
that the PythonExt project does not offer Python bindings for x86_64
either (it's on my todo list), you can compile the PythonExt part
yourself as well if you need a 64-bit version.
Cheers,
Todd
Interesting, I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid here, and have both ia32-libs
and ia32-libs-gtk installed.
ldd shows that I'm missing the following libs, even though the proper
packages are installed, and the files show up in /usr/lib.
libxcb-render-util.so.0 => not found
libxcb-render.so.0 => not found
There's also /usr/lib/libxcb-render.so.0.0.0 and the same for render-
util, so I wonder if that could be part of the problem?

Hi Don,
I'm thinking there may be additional 32-bit packages necessary then (I'm
not sure which package).
Not sure about Ubuntu 8.10 (it's still alpha). I'm using a Ubuntu 8.04
x86_64 machine and my dependencies list the following for the latest
32-bit build of XulRunner:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ldd ./xulrunner-bin | grep libxcb
libxcb-xlib.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0xf6493000)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libxcb.so.1 (0xf647b000)
Cheers,
Todd
