The rpath fix would need to be applied to Firefox. python-gtkmozembed (python-gnome2-extras) already has the rpath set to contain /usr/lib/firefox. I'm not sure if this will cause problems for other packages. If the ld.so.conf work-around is considered, I would suggest using /etc/ld.so.conf.d/. This will make uninstallation of the package less of a nightmare. It is of note that /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh and /usr/lib/firefox/firefox both set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to contain their respective "mozilla library directories". Adding the ld.so.conf(.d) work around might not have as big an impact as we fear, but I do believe other alternatives might be better; if we have any. For applications that live in the gnome panel LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not an option. How do other distributions solve this problem with Firefox and python-gtkmozembed? I imagine that Debian's Iceweasel has similar problems. -- Sjoerd -- gtkmozembed crashs with python https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
