missing libxpcom.so

Hi all,

I recently installed a program that needs java and firefox. The help won't work because it can't initialize a browser. I get as error:

libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked in my system (and also in older firefox package versions) but this library is nowhere to be found.

Would someone have the answer?

Thanks a lot

Re: missing libxpcom.so

What program? How did you install it?

libxpcom.so is part of kompozer:

$ pkgfile libxpcom.so
community/kompozer

If you installed a package from the AUR, then it should probably depend on this package (kompozer).

It's an executable that comes with its own libraries, it can be found here.

I tried extracting the libxpcom* files from the kompozer package and creating links under /usr/lib/ but it doesn't work, it gives an

XPCOM error 0x80040154

Aren't... aren't you usually supposed to install a package instead of manually extracting files from a package and linking/copying/moving them around?

As a slightly unrelated note from a fellow citizen: I usually fill out my tax declaration on-line (see the "Déclarer en ligne pour 2014" link), and I've never needed Java (although, I'm from Berne, so perhaps things may be a little different in Geneva).

I know.. but installing it didn't help. So I thought I might as well try.

Concerning the online version, it requires a confirmation via Post and I don't have time.

I guess I'll use the windows version under wine...
