Bug Description

Binary package hint: chmsee

Received the following error upon trying to start chmsee:
chmsee: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

chmsee Version:
1.0.0-1ubuntu1 (hardy)

Running Hardy 8.04

libxul located here:
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b4/libxul.so
I believe this came w/ xulrunner-1.9 (version: 1.9~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1)

Thanks Alexander. Went to use chmsee and it did not work. You saved perhaps a great deal of frustration.

Saïvann,

The deadline for Ubuntu 8.04.1 uploads being /accepted/ into -proposed is June 1 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule). I'm not sure which "final" xulrunner upload you're waiting on, but this doesn't seem to leave much window for the chmsee upload to actually happen. As such, while I think this is a reasonable SRU candidate and will target it to the hardy release, I don't think it's appropriate to treat this as a blocker for 8.04.1 and am dropping the milestone.

milestone: ubuntu-8.04.1 → none

what about adding a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/xulrunner ? worked for me

mnemoc : I don't know about your solution but I know that the current chmsee will need to be fixed anyway to use the correct path because the current package is misconfigured, and the xulrunner path is probably going to change again when the final release of Firefox will get into hardy-updates so I'm waiting for it (will probably appears during june month).

fixed by linking to shared libs:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libxul.so /usr/lib/libxul.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libxpcom.so /usr/lib/libxpcom.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libsqlite3.so /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libmozjs.so /usr/lib/libmozjs.so

(as above, but without the b5).

Is this going in backports?
