Hi Ken,

Following Bruce's suggestion (ldconfig) did not work; from your email I saw 
that I needed to go into mozconfig in some more detail. So I disabled building 
with the system sqlite. We'll see how it works later, but right now I just need 
to get it to build.

So far the firefox build is not complaining about sqlite, that's good.

Thanks,
Joao

 We ask for all of the recommended dependencies in the mozconfig:

# Comment out following options if you have not installed
# recommended dependencies:
ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite
ac_add_options --with-system-libevent
ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx
ac_add_options --with-system-nspr
ac_add_options --with-system-nss

 and a little above that is:
# If you have not installed Yasm then uncomment this line:
#ac_add_options --disable-webm

 When the book says "Recommended" it either means that you will lose
some functionality without the dependency, OR that you will need to
adjust the build (e.g. by passing extra switches such as
--disable-nautilus in at least one gnome package).

 For sqlite, the version shipped with firefox has, in the past,
played badly with a system-installed version.  Using system libs
also means that you only have to fix the system version if a
library vulnerability comes to light.
