I'm currently running watchdog's FF45esr and my own Thunderbird 45.8.0 package in Racy 5.5. Don't know why I'm bothering with this, TBH, because they both run extremely well.....but just for the hell of it, I'm trying to get Fred's Quantum 61 'portable' and my new T-Bird 60 packages to run here.
I've already updated libgtk-3.0 and libgdk-3.0, using a package originally linked to me by perdido; put together, I believe, for Precise. This same package has permitted running the above packages in Precise 571, and Slackos 560 & 570.....along with watchdog's advice to add the Wheezy libdbus to /lib, thereby giving it priority in the /path over the native version.
Normally, this would be a fool's errand, due to the advanced age of Racy's glibc. (I'm a glutton for punishment..! ) However, I'm using battleshooter's 'glibc-2.20 upgrade' for Racy 5.5, from here:-
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=806989
.....which works extremely well indeed, and allows me to run the very last 32-bit Chrome (48.0.2564.116) here in Racy, and thus view NetFlix..!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Quantum and the new T-Bird both using the same 'engine under the hood', as it were, I figured that if there should be any problems with either of them, it would probably be the same one. And so it's proved.
Running both of them from /root as a trial, I get this in the terminal in both cases:-
Code: Select all
# /root/thunderbird/thunderbird
/root/thunderbird/thunderbird: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: g_static_resource_init
#
# /root/firefox32/ff
/root/firefox32/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: g_static_resource_init
#
Anybody got any insights on this one? I'm well aware that Racy was the last of the 'T2' builds, before Woof-CE got off the ground, yet it hasn't stopped me from getting several other items working on here that everybody reckoned was impossible, so.....
Any advice or suggestions will, as always, be very much appreciated. TIA.
Mike.
