Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird Shared Lib. Problem.

./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


This is what i get when trying to run thunderbird from the command line.. I googled it and this link https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312360 tells me that it's a LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem.. saying that it only includes a relative path instead of absolute.. so anyone that runs firefox and or thunderbird from a personal directory gets screwed.. But it's says this only happens after running the "updater" which i havn't done.. it just did it by itself..

My problem is that i don't know where to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include an absolute path... Is it simple an entry in your .bashrc ? if so i already tried that without any luck.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

It's an environment variable, so you should just need to set it in ~/.bashrc and then export it:

Code:

---

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/bar

---

Alternatively, it may be that the command 'thunderbird' is actually a script that sets some variables then runs the binary. Check and make sure. If it is a script, you can just modify the script to use an absolute path.

thanx that fixed it.

cept now for some reason it says my server refuses to connect thru pop3 (110).. even tho it brought up my exact settings from my ~/.thunderbird/ profile that i havn't modified at all lol.. i'm just havin a stroke of very bad luck i guess.

if you are using gmail then security settings should be SSL... use port 995 not 110...
