DetailsYou closed the bug below:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/?do=details&id=1365 but the decision you made is wrong. You place Mozilla on /opt and this makes pkgconfig to not find the .pc file and so I can't compile MANY of my gnome apps that use the mozilla sdk, including Liferea, gecko-sharp for Mono, Blam! etc. Yes, I could use your $PATH trick, but that's just a hack! Most people would just give up instead of coming to bug databases like I do. Please modify the pacman mozilla package to place the .pc file on the right folder, under /usr/lib/pkgconfig where apps expectng it and make sure that the .pc file is pointing to the right folders too. Also, no, the new gecko-sdk does NOT help the situation, in fact, it's even worse, because it does not include a .pc file AT ALL. |
This task depends upon
I did try your trick about the $PATH for pkgconfig as detailed on the previous bug report, and poor liferea compiled.
BUT, when I try to load Liferea now, I get this:
[eugenia@athlonxp ~]$ liferea
Mozilla is not available...
Available browser modules (/usr/lib/liferea):
No browser module configured!
** ERROR **: Sorry, I was not able to load any installed browser modules! Try th
e --debug-all option to get debug information!
aborting...
Aborted
The reason is that it can't find the Mozilla libs! Come on people, stop placing such software on /opt! Many apps are expecting them on /usr/lib or anywhere else where they were CONFIGURED to be in the Library Path!!
I want my Liferea, and I want my Blam! :(
This bug report is a duplicate of another one I filed a few weeks ago and can be closed. The next uploaded mozilla version will have a fixed postinstall script. for now, you can fix /etc/ld.so.conf by hand.
