I don't mind, it's you system. If what you've done works and you're happy with it then drive on! (I'm just bitter 'cos I've had issues with nspr in the past;) > 2.Even if I have them on my system, I shouldn't use them in a Firefox build? > or > 3. ? Well nspr and nss are from Mozilla, they are developed along with the code for Firefox and the Mozilla suite. The versions of those things distributed with the Firefox source code are compatible with the rest of the code in the tarball and if it's a recent version of the Firefox code that you've downloaded the versions of nspr and nss will be up to date too. FWIW my current mozconfig looks like this: mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/tmp/firefox-build-dir mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4" ac_add_options --prefix=/usr ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --enable-pthreads ac_add_options --enable-system-bz2 ac_add_options --enable-system-jpeg ac_add_options --enable-system-png ac_add_options --enable-system-lcms ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo ac_add_options --enable-system-zlib ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification ac_add_options --enable-shared ac_add_options --disable-static ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter ac_add_options --disable-installer ac_add_options --disable-updater ac_add_options --disable-tests Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
