Firefox 17.0.11 - Couldn't load xpcom.dll

(1/2) > >>

Martin Iturbide:
Hi

I recently installed Firefox 17.0.11 (Warpin Unofficial - thunderbird-17.0.11esrpre.en-us.os2-wpi.wpi) on a fresh eCS 2.1 installation. I installed the latest libc, gcc and the Mozilla fonts.

When I run Firefox I get the message. "Couldn't load xpcom.dll".

1) Just in case I added X:\Programs\Firefox to the path and libpath, and did not worked.

2) A also thought that it was because firefox xpcom.dll was in conflict with an older thunderbird xpcom.dll, so I installed also Thunderbird 17.0.11 WPI and I have both xpcom.dll on the same level. But it keeps giving the same error.

Can you please give me hint? Am I missing something on the config.sys?

Dave Yeo:
I thought the "couldn't load xpcom" problem was fixed  :( The problem is that it is a generic failure message, you"re probably missing one of the other dependencies. You can use yum,
yum install mmap pthread libgcc446 libgcc473 libstdc++
or download http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/internet/www/browser/moz_required_dlls_v1.zip

Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Dave, it worked.

I just did a "yum install mmap" and "yum install pthread" and installed all the dependencies I was missing. (But I keep disliking FHS).

Now it is working. Thanks a lot.

I always get this if I attempt to open a URL from PMMail but Firefox isn't already running.

You need to set the working directory to the Firefox program directory
