Firefox 38 problem
John Poltorak:
According to:-
http://os2news.warpstock.org/Warpzilla.html
I need the following versions:-
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_6-csd6.wpi
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc4core-1_3_1.wpi
http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/fontconfig-2_11_95-1_oc00.zip
http://os2news.warpstock.org/mozsupport-2016-04-29.zip
I'll try again to install all these and see if it makes any difference.

Hi John
I noticed in your post that mozsupport has been updated recently so downloaded a copy.
The only update in the package for those with mozsupport-2016-03-16.zip installed is the fntcnf1.dll file.
However, for the sake of "completeness" I unzipped all files from mozsupport-2016-04-29.zip overwriting existing files.
Seamonkey then would not start - Sorry, that is incorrect as it appears in the Process List and can be "killed"; it does not appear onscreen and the cpu meters are peaking.
As I had been running Seamonkey merely minutes earlier I guessed the problem may be related to the mozsupport update.
I "backlevelled" fntcnf1.dll to the version from mozsupport-2016-03-16.zip and no problems - I am posting using Seamonkey.
The older mozsupport may still be available here http://os2news.warpstock.org/mozsupport-2016-03-16.zip if you want to give it a try.
Regards
Pete

The danger is having an older DLL on the LIBPATH, including the dot where it can be loaded by another program. One example that bit a few people was having the real libc065.dll in ecs\dll or os2\dll, which only stopped add-ons from working
Assuming you have installed exceptq, are you getting trp files in your program directory?
Are you sure you have fontconfig set up properly.
Personally I hate needing all these DLLs and prefer static linking, which is what I did for a long time and Peter did before. Unluckily the Python shipped with RPM/YUM is the only one that works to build Mozilla and it has become easier to just use the whole environment. I'm also stuck on dial-up that makes it hard for me to upload any builds I do, otherwise I'd do and upload a mostly static build.
John Poltorak:
I removed the DLL's I had in my 'c:\usr\lib' and proceeded to add those from the pkgs mentioned in the link, and....
it worked!
Seems I must have had an incompatible DLL in the libpath... although I did notice the mozsupport has been updated since I downloaded it initially, so maybe one of the newer DLL's made the difference.
Anyway It works now, so I'm happy about that.
