Subject: [gentoo-amd64] firefox fails after 2004.3 to 2005.0 upgrade

1 I was running on 2004.3 with KDE 3.3.3 with firefox working fine.
2
3 When I ran the 2004.3 -> 2005.0 upgrade script, it crashed quite early on, with
4 - firefox not working, see below
5 - autoload modules list trashed (no network, easily fixed)
6 - XDM instead of KDM (still not working)
7 Anyway its the lack of firefox that's really bugging me, as gmail
8 isn't that hot in Konquerer.
9 I managed to upgrade to 2005.0 via the manual procedure.
10 <--
11 $ firefox
12 No running windows found
13 /usr/bin/firefox: line 515: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: No such file or directory
14 firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127)
15 -->
16 I expect the "No running windows found" I normally run firefox from K->Run.
17 The "No such file or directory" seems to be the problem.
18 I tried googling but this is a very common error message.
19 <--
20 $ ls -l /usr/bin/firefox
21 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec 30 06:02 /usr/bin/firefox ->
22 /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher
23 $ file /opt/firefox/firefox-bin
24 /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
25 version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared
26 libs), stripped
27 -->
28 I immediately tried to sync & remerge the emul libraries and
29 mozilla-firefox-bin, and only baselibs changed.
30 I also tried removing the /usr/lib32 created by the upgrade, and
31 sym-linking /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib
32 instead, to no avail.
33
34 I believe I'm running
35 emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.3
36 emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.2
37 emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-2.1.1
38 emul-linux-x86-xlibs-2.2.1
39
40 I used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_firefox_with_java_on_amd64
41 to do the install.
42 Someone has added <Notice that those instructions are only interesting
43 if you want to install the Sun Java JRE, because emul-linux-x86-java
44 has been released, which also installs a Firefox plugin for the
45 Blackdown JRE if you emerge it with the USE flag "nsplugin"!>
46 I don't think it will help and its masked unstable.
