Hi:

When I run Firefox 3 (compiled), Thunderbird, or Bluefish editor, and I try to do anything that requires the "open file" dialog, the application crashes.

I noticed in Thunderbird that it only crashes if I try to go to my home directory. I've just installed BlueFish, so the default directory is probably my home directory.

I installed firefox-bin and don't have the problem with it, but everything else is compiled and I'd prefer to use the source-built firefox anyway.

Here's the console output for Thunderbird when it crashes in this way:

Code:

$ thunderbird

It looks like there is a memory error:

Code:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0xacd063b0 ***


If you are a developer, you could re-emerge with debugging and use valgrind or gdb to track down the problem.

If you are not I would try other routes first, namely doing an emerge --sync and seeing if a newer build is available. It is also possibly that you have changed your use flag which sometimes makes for strange things. If this is the case, try a newuse and a deep update as outlined at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2 (in the new use section). I had similar problems building firefox 3 but everything works fine for me now with 3.0.3.

Hope this helps!

I backed up my /etc/portage/package.keywords and did

emerge -uavND world

Portage downgraded about 75 packages, but then a bunch of stuff didn't work at all anymore, so I ran revdep-rebuild. I still had to put a few packages in package.keywords to keep my system running (openrc disappears without ~x86 and baselayout reverts to 1.x, which caused total havoc).

Firefox 3 depends on unstable packages and because this problem occurred in multiple applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, Bluefish and others!) I think the problem is in one of those dependencies. I thought it might be xulrunner, but Bluefish doesn't seem to use it, so maybe it's gtk+, I don't know.

Basically, I've had to go back to Firefox 2.0.0.17, which is fine, as it's more important to have a stable browser than the extra bells and whistles that Firefox 3 offers. I don't think Firefox 3 is stable enough for me yet.

Anyway, after reverting and doing revdep-rebuild, Firefox, Thunderbird and Bluefish all work now.

Glad you found a solution. Perhaps the reason I have no such trouble is that I have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86".

Cheers!

That's not generally recommended, which is why I haven't done it.
