Firefox doesn't start anymore

[TTr]

It would have to be in that order as shown above. Whatever it is, it points to a SHLIB_PATH issue or a permission issue with the libraries in use. You don't have a clean setup of the user shell environment. You should utilize the /etc/profile (which uses /etc/SHLIB_PATH, /etc/PATH, /etc/MANPATH) to setup the user environmnet. Everytime you use swinstall/swremove, these files get updated as needed. You should avoid editing startup scripts to set up their environment unless there is a conflict.

Shalom,

This thread has taken a life of its own. It is its own community.

The installation of GIMP did some damage to firefox.

I recommend a test.

1) install gimp
2) install firefox and dependencies.

A reverse order thing to see if they are damaging each other or just damaging the user environment.

3) test gimp
4) test firefox

After reading through this lengthy thread, I believe its an environment issue.

I believe the time has come also that you rate the answers you have received and assign points.

A lot of people have made a lot of effort on your behalf.

None for me please.

That is what I thought as well.

Ok, I will do that.

As far as I know I have assigned most answers with high points. If that didn't work through, I'm sorry for that. Apparently, I've done something wrong when assigning the points.

[H. van Niekerk]

OK, assigned the points. Will go on with the tests.

OK, I've reinstalled Gimp with all dependencies. The result caused me to post a question previous to this lengthy thread because it gives this:

$ gimp &
[1] 4579
$
[1] + Memory fault(coredump) gimp &

After this I reinstalled Firefox and with the latest version of the startfirefox script, it starts fine.

Did you want to continue debugging that thread:

Well gimp is good for something, it props up firefox. :-)

Sure, that way I might be able to use Gimp on UX as well. Have it running on Linux and Mac, so no real need for UX to run it, but it's there.
