Has anyone managed to get FF 18.0 to work on Centos 5.8?
I've been hacking at it, placing a stack of .so files (from Centos 6) into a private directory, then using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the system to (in a shellscript that subsequently invokes ff 18) but so far I've not managed to find the right combination. I've moved over libstdc++, all or nearly all the .so files from glib2 and glibc packages. now I"m getting:
./firefox: symbol lookup error: ./libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4
and dunno either what I've done wrong, or what other things need to be brought over.
Clues appreciated. :)
In case anyone is interested, I managed to rebuild firefox 18.0.1 on CentOS 5 (i686) without too many problems
It appears to run fine on CentOS 5
If anyone wants to know the details, then let me know
James:
I gave it a quick try last night, and got hung up on the python version. The build wants <= 2.7, and EL5 has something much older than that.
I'd be afraid to just drop a new one in since thatwould probably break lots of things. Unless I could put it in a private place and just point the mozilla build to that location. Is that what you did?
Thanks!
