[SOLVED]Webkit crashes on x86_64 Arch

Both dwb and luakit keep crashing on my x86_64 Arch installation with the following error:

[000:000] Browser XEmbed support present: 1

[000:000] Browser toolkit is Gtk2.

[000:001] Using Gtk2 toolkit

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 667: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

Initially I thought it was an issue with dwb and so I filed a bug report here https://bitbucket.org/portix/dwb/issue/ … ed-by-ldso but the same thing also happened with luakit so I'm guessing it is a webkit issue. I should also add that dwb works fine on my i686 Arch laptop and that changing libwebkit to libwebkit-git also did not help.

Anybody have any clue as to what is going on?

Re: [SOLVED]Webkit crashes on x86_64 Arch

Hi

I had the same problem with a bunch of application (thunderbird,firefox for instance).
The problem is in some library, fro example I read about people with the same error in Skype 4.x that resolve installing lib32-libpulse.

But that was not my case.

So I installed "strace" an run firefox from console with

strace firefox

When it crashed I read on the console some errors, before the one we have in common, telling me that Firefox didn't find libpng12.
I installed this library and solved the problem.

Hope it helps you

Thanks hutch, that was very helpful. Turns out I was missing libpng12; after installing that dwb works like a charm. Thanks very much.
