Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

I'm trying to install openftd (usenet indexer) via pkgbuild
Already resolved a few dependencies but this one i cannot fix, it's got something to do with firefox (which openftd useds to display)

Here's the last part of my terminal output:

checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

configure: error: Cannot compile and run XPCOM programs
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

This is what the config.log says about it:

configure:21950: checking whether we can compile and run XPCOM programs

configure:22068: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -fno-rtti -fshort-wchar -fshort-wchar     -I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9 -I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/unstable -I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/stable -I/usr/include/nspr   -I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/dom -I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/necko -I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/pref  -lcurl -L/usr/lib -lpthread  -Wl,--rpath= conftest.cpp  -L/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9/lib -lxpcomglue_s -lxul -lxpcom -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl   -L -lmozjs -lxul -lxpcom -L -lxpcomglue_s >&5

configure:22071: $? = 0
configure:22077: ./conftest
./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
configure:22080: $? = 127
configure: program exited with status 127

I already re-installed xulrunner1.9

Can I install the shared lib manually?

Read some posts about downgrading to 1.8 regarding to problems with firefox.

Some hints?

Re: Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

add /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/ to /etc/ld.so.conf  and start ld

Added it, but when starting ld it complains about no input files...

Re: Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

Found i need to run ldconfig after tweaking the /etc/ld.so.conf, but still no results.
Also I found that the rest of the file was empty except for the /usr/lib/libfakeroot

Is this normal after a normal install of the base plus xfce4, firefox, exaile, totem?

Re: Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

I don't have the /usr/X11R6/lib, /opt/kde/lib and/opt/qt/lib installed.
To me de kde and qt libs are obvious since you run kde.
You are running openftd too? If yes have you only installed kde after the base install?

Re: Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

Hi,

Ik gebruik openftd, en had dezelfde problemen, nadat ik /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 had toegevoegd was het probleem opgelost.
Ik heb KDE openbox en xfce4 geinstalleerd.

Re: Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

Je had het over start ld, maar dit is een tool om te linken, bedoel je ldconfig en daarna makepkg?

Re: Problem installing OpenFTD -> cannot compile and run XPCOM programs

Op zich niet verwacht, maar de oplossing was waarschijnlijk een reboot

Heb nu nog wel het probleem dat ftd niet goed update, steeds loopt ie vast op een Alice Cooper post (kan niet parsen)
Ook last van met mijn bestaande Mint install, maar door op [nieuw] te klikken worden de nieuwe posts wel toegevoegd.

Bedankt voor de info en leech ze!
