poorguy · 2010-01-24 19:46:14

hello, im using testing repository and my system is up to date.
after the latest update (including firefox 3.6-2) firefox stopped working with this message:
Couldn't load XPCOM.

is it just me or it's broken for everyone?

That 's an error on a version mismatch between that one needed by the xulrunner for FF and the one installed (that has happened to me before, so I know it). Are you sure that you have installed the latest xulrunner from testing ? Is your mirror fully synced ? (use mir.archlinux.fr which syncs regularly).

poorguy · 2010-01-24 19:50:48

The libpng package from [extra] (version 1.2.40-1) has /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 . Maybe a symlink was forgotten in the newer package for libpng in [testing]?

You should never symlink libraries of different so versions.

maybe a dependency of xulrunner wasn't been updated or rebuilt(less probably)

on my system looks fine. i'll start by looking in ignorepkg or packages that are not from official repo(-Qm)

hmm nevermind. i've cairo-lcd installed which is built against old libpng. rebuilding it fixed my problem

Don't put kde-unstable at the end! Read the wiki page!

PS: No, xulrunner does not need a rebuild but your third party packages do. Or you just install those provides by Arch (especially cairo)

poorguy · 2010-01-25 09:49:34

@Pierre
i dont use kde-unstable at the moment

Pierre · 2010-01-25 09:55:15

You cheated. ;-) Your previous post contained a pacman.conf with kde-unstable enabled. :-)

poorguy · 2010-01-25 09:56:15

LOL
yes it's enabled but i mean i dont want to use kde 4.4 at the moment

His ldd output was missing libpng12, which is the one that is currently in extra. I didn't advice him to symlink anything, I just wanted to say that the file he missed was contained in a package from extra and maybe something was wrong with the libpng package he had installed.

pluckypigeon · 2010-02-01 02:00:12

This error has just moved in to extra/

When I did a locate libpng I found that my installation of Dropbox had it's own libpng in /opt/dropbox

So I did

ln -s /opt/dropbox/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0

UNDO that link as soon as possible, and then install libpng12 from AUR, if you really need it.

Pierre · 2010-02-01 08:38:36

You could also just use ln -s /dev/urandom /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0. There is a chance > 0 that this might create a valid library. ;-)
