Hi,
As said in the pkg-message :
- FreeBSD version : FreeBSD mulet.clope.net 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD
5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 #0: Sun Mar 7 00:07:38 CET 2004
root at mulet.clope.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MULET_KERNEL i386
- timestamp of the www/firefox/Makefile : Feb 19 13:11 Makefile
- Problem : Firefox don't start. I installed it via the ports, i simply
did a portupgrade -RraP after cvsup the ports tree. After that, when i'm
trying to launch firefox, the process firefox-bin runs with 85% of cpu
load... nothing appear, no window for browsing.
So i tried to come back to mozilla-firebird, i re-installed it with the
package, but anyway it's now doing the same thing than firefox. It seems
to be a problem that appear with dependancies during my portupgrade -RraP.
I wanted a browser.. so i installed mozilla classic, i didn't want to
spend time with compilation, so i installed the pacakge :
mozilla-gtk2-1.6.a.tbz, and i did the same thing... I became nervous...
and tried with no gtk2 : mozilla-1.6.a,1.tbz and it works ! So, seems to
be a problem with the GTK2 library.
I discovered that my GTK1 and 2 failed to upgrade due to a configure
error, i tried to force the install, in fact, glib wasn't up to date, I
fixed it and reinstalled Firefox, but the same problem persists (for
firebird still the same problem).
I Don't really understand from where it's coming, I hope this report can
help you for debugging Firefox. I believe that the portupgrade -RraP did
something bad with a dependancie of fire*
Here is my version of GTK1 and 2:
x11-toolkits/gtk12 (gtk-1.2.10_11)
x11-toolkits/gtk20 (gtk-2.2.4_2)
Bye.
