Very weird happenings on my laptop. I have mozilla installed and displaying flash content fine in my home directory. I have another user, tester, that I use occasionally that mozilla crashes on every time I get to a site with flash content with the following error: Registering plugin 1 for: "application/futuresplash","FutureSplash Player","spl"mozilla/mozilla/mozilla-bin: error in loading shared libraries: /home/tester/mozilla/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: undefined symbol: XShmQueryExtension this is I believe in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3 which also has a symlink, libXext.so.6 pointing to it. What is different in environments that tells programs where to look for symbols? I won't ask the burning question of what the *&$%#* is a symbol, that would show my incredible ignorance:) As I attempt to track this down, I have noticed a difference in the paths: bad environment - /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/jdk118/bin:/home/tester/bin good environment /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/jdk118/bin:/home/bhughes/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/jdk118/bin:/home/bhughes/bin:/sbin well at least mozilla works. I can't figure out several things about this: 1. where are the duplicates coming from? I think I can figure that out 2. why are the /usr/bin and /bin reversed? 3. where is /opt/bin getting set ? I have looked in ~/.bashrc ~/bash_profile /etc/bashrc /etc/profile and all *.sh files in /etc/profile.d set |grep -i mozilla MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/bin/netscape is identical in both user's environment I have a bootload of software installed my (good) environment that is not in the tester's (bad) are .* dirs looked through somewhere I am missing? I give up. HELP! Bret _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
