new xulrunner and gtkmozembed

what happened to libgtkmozembed.so? previously it was in the xulrunner package.
now with xulrunner-1.9 many apps which use gtkmozembed are broken; eg gmusicbrowser, zattoo. perhaps some more.
any ideas?

The new xulrunner is not compatible with old one. Go bother the ones who develop the applications.

I've already contacted zattoo, haven't heard anything back yet though.

I just emailed them too. Let's hope they respond quickly.

This thread might also be of interest: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46790.

I Should have read it before blindly upgrading xulrunner. Downgrading isn't exactly straightforward.

Re: new xulrunner and gtkmozembed

I have solved the issue recovering the old xulrunner package (xulrunner-1.8.1.14-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz) from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/.

Then I have edited the package name (in .PKGINFO file from the tar) this way:

...
pkgname = xulrunner-1.8
pkgver = 1.8.1.14-3
...

and also renamed the file usr/bin/xulrunner in the package to usr/bin/xulrunner-1.8 in order to avoid conflicts with xulrunner 1.9.

I know it's really annoying, but xulrunner-1.9 it's a requirement for firefox3, so it couldn't be removed or reverted as usual.

Re: new xulrunner and gtkmozembed

Thanks for the workaround tito207, didn't realize just how much I was using Zattoo until this week.

EDIT: I modified the cached xulrunner 1.8 package as you suggested but I still get the same error.

zattoo_player: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkembedmoz.so.0d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Re: new xulrunner and gtkmozembed

hi,
i submitted a PKGBUILD for xulrunner-1.8 to AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18076
there are no patches applied. if one needs special patches, post them here or send them by mail.
zattoo needs to be reinstalled to work properly.
note that xulrunner-1.8 does not conflict with the latest version (1.9).
the binary is now xulrunner-1.8.

I can't agree more with you!

It's strange that you keep having the same problem, but maybe it's due to broken soft links.
Check the folder /usr/lib/zattoo and redo the soft links (#>ln -sf /path/to/the/xulrunner/lib /usr/lib/zattoo/<lib_link>) that are broken.

Thanks for adding this PKGBUILD to AUR so fast.

Re: new xulrunner and gtkmozembed

All was fine once I re-installed zattoo.
