I'll keep my eye out for updates, maybe I'll even subscribe to -java :) Let me know if I can help with anything. > > For opera, I get: > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so: Undefined symbol "__cxa_atexit" > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > Interestingly for opera, the about box says "no java runtime installed", but > > the java preference has a validated path to the JRE.... > > Interesting.

I may look into it, but I'm more interested in having it work with firefox; I was just hoping opera would be the easy way out :) > > Versions: jdk1.5.0, firefox 1.0.6, opera 8.50 > > Out of interest, what FreeBSD version and what versions of X and OpenMotif? I'm running Fbsd 5.4...I don't remember which version of X, only that I built it after the Xorg switch. I'll write again when I log into my fbsd desktop again (I'm writing now because I feel guilty for not replying, maybe I should have just waited :).) > > Last but not least, a beginner question: How do you run firefox in gdb? > > I found firefox-bin, but it won't launch without the environment grooming > > that its scriptup scripts perform, and I can't run gdb on the startup > > script :( > > Determine the environment variables you need to set from the start up > script. Set them. Run gdb on firefox-bin. I was afraid of that :( I saw the other suggestion about attaching gdb after launch, but in the past that's always crashed the application for me...maybe I'll give it another try when. Mike
