Firefox crash when loading svg image

[HMartinho]

When I run in a terminal it gives the following error:

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5/libxul.so: undefined symbol: cairo_path_extents

Still haven't figured it out.

Thanks for your report and helping make Ubuntu better.

Not confirming in Hardy.

Please can you provide:
- A sample file or URL
- The output of the following commands :
dpkg -l "firefox*" "libcairo*" "xulrunner*"|grep "^ii"
ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5/libxul.so | grep cairo

Thanks in advance

(or any other svg file)

cairo_path_extents was added in cairo 1.5.8. So your system library is the right version (1.6.0 ) BUT you've another version of Cairo in /usr/local/lib which is probably too old.

This may be the culprit.

You can either uninstall the /usr/local/lib if you don't use it version or upgrade your locale library or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib to be certain that the one in /usr/lib is loaded first. run "ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5/libxul.so | grep cairo" and be sure that the library is the one in /usr/lib.

Please confirm before closing this report.

Ooops. it isn't! Take a look:
~$ ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5/libxul.so | grep cairo
 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0x00007fe9ab517000)
 libcairo.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007fe9ab292000)

How can I set it right?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Sorry for the delay. Did you succeeded in removing access to library in /usr/local or is it still an issue ?

[HMartinho (heldermartinho)]

Hi mate;

Still no sucess! :(
Firefox still crashes whenever it tries to open/load an svg.
Could you tell me how to correct it please, I'm a noob.

Thanks.

Cheers
