This looks like firefox-bin can't find, at runtime, the libraries it needs ? Try (on Linux) ldd /complete/path/to/firefox-bin It will most probably show something like more than 45 dynamic libraries it needs (.so files). I don't know exactly which one your problematic "g_thread_pool_set_sort_function" comes from. But most probably it's not in your dynamic library's search path (either from ldd and/or /etc/ld.so.conf, either from LD_LIBRARY_PATH). If I'm right on your problem's analysis, then you can look up on Google what I meant with (either ...., either ...). If that doesn't bring you any further, feel free to come back asking here. Hope this helps. Kind regards, PhB. P.S. Not that I think this is very gnome/gtk related :p yinglcs2@xxxxxxxxx wrote: >Hi, > >I am able to compile Firefox 1.5 on Fedora 6. >but when I run it, I get this error: > >./firefox-objdir/dist/bin/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0: undefined symbol: g_thread_pool_set_sort_function > > >Can you please help me how to fix it? > >Thank you. > > > > > > >____________________________________________________________________________________ >Cheap talk? >Check out Yahoo!
