I did set this to MozillaFirebird and it seemed to work fine. That way you don't have to worry about an upgrade to epiphany overwriting the binary. Lloyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

that and do a: ln -s /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/bin/epiphany because of the new gnome thingies WILL call on epiphany but giving them moz is fine.

[gentoo-user] Gnome/Ephiphany
I have just got back after 3 months away and got home to find that my boxes have finished running an emerge -up world (ha, nope, I started it remotely, it's not been running for 3 months - my machines aren't _that_ old). Anyway, the only problem seems to be with Gnome 2.4 and epiphany - Gnome won't build without it (or at least, I can't find how to disable it) and it requires Mozilla 1.4 built with gcc 2.x. I don't really want to recompile Mozilla with gcc 2.x (after the pain of getting the 3.x Java plug in working).

Strange, I had no problems with this at all (though I did upgrade to gnome 2.4 when it went into ~x86, not stable). Where/how does it tell you that mozilla has to be built with gcc 2.x? My mozilla compiled just dandy with 3.2.3 (stable x86), and when I compiled epiphany 1.0.1 a couple of days ago I didn't see anything about it requiring a 2.x compiled moz... alan -- Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://arcterex.net There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome/Ephiphany
This is a direct quote from Obz one of the gnome ebuild maintainers: the GNOME ebuild as provided by us, is a wrapper for the complete GNOME desktop which is what the GNOME project deems as their complete desktop. However, there's no reason that you need to agree with them on what makes your desktop complete,the wrappers are merely for your convenience. If you open up the ebuild (as pointed out in previous comment) and remove the lines with the packages you dont want (I always remove out acme, file-roller etc, things that I just dont need) and emerge, you should be fine. Just beware that this changes will be overwritten on an rsync, so you'll need to alter them again if you need to remerge later. SO I assume that you can comment mozilla/ephiphany out of the ebuild and not have them emerged.

Heheh, that seems like alot of trouble to save some CPU cycles and disk. I jsut build it and forget it. :D ...and in this case, mozilla w/ gtk2 looks pretty nice.

unfortunately epiphany shows up as the default browser for evolution now...and more than once i found it to segfault on me, so i went in and did a cp /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/bin/epiphany and all is well again On Wed, 2003-10-08 at 14:28, Larry Meadors wrote: Heheh, that seems like alot of trouble to save some CPU cycles and disk.

Epiphany wants Mozilla to be built against gtk+ 2.x. Your gcc is fine. Re-emerge mozilla (with USE=gtk2 if necessary) and epiphany will build.
