Is there any environment variable to define or other way to disable the the attempted creation of a per-user gnome configuration directory? I recently updated from gnome-vfs2-2.8.3nb1 to gnome-vfs2-2.10.0 and libgnome-2.8.0nb1 to libgnome-2.10.0 (Pkgsrc packages) and now firefox won't install in my chrooted package build environment (which does not have a /root). (Gecko:16753): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/': No such file or directory cd /usr/lib/firefox && /usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=. HOME=/tmp/pkgsrc/www/firefox/work.montecristo/mozilla ./firefox-bin -register (Gecko:16911): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory such file or directory Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/': No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Of course, the work-around is easy: mkdir /root. But why? And where is this firefox-bin -register option documented? (I know this is a mozilla question, but I thought I would ask here.) What is the purpose of creating this per-user configuration directory on the package build machine? (or in my case in the /root directory which never runs any X software and I assume no gnome-related programs??) What can I do to disable creating this per-user configuration directory on the package build machine? I searched for some answers about this, but couldn't find related documentation. I started looking at libgnome/gnome-init.c code too. Thank you, Jeremy C.
