No problem. Wish I could work out why ff3 fails so consistently on my machine.

Unmodified, the port build runs along until it gets to the JS library (mozilla/js/src). Then this happens: cc -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -Wall -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -W -Wno-long-long -O1 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O2 -fPIC -shared -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-h,libmozjs.so -o libmozjs.so jsapi.o jsarena.o jsarray.o jsatom.o jsbool.o jscntxt.o jsdate.o jsdbgapi.o jsdhash.o jsdtoa.o jsemit.o jsexn.o jsfun.o jsgc.o jshash.o jsinterp.o jsinvoke.o jsiter.o jslock.o jslog2.o jslong.o jsmath.o jsnum.o jsobj.o jsopcode.o jsparse.o jsprf.o jsregexp.o jsscan.o jsscope.o jsscript.o jsstr.o jsutil.o jsxdrapi.o jsxml.o prmjtime.o -pthread -Wl,-rpath-link,../../dist/bin -lm -pthread -L../../dist/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -pthread -Wl,-Bsymbolic -lc -lm -pthread -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -liconv ../../dist/lib/libnspr4.a(uxproces.o)(.text+0x7d1): In function `_MD_CreateUnixProcess': : undefined reference to `environ' gmake[3]: *** [libmozjs.so] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/data2/ff3_build/usr/ports-stable/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/js/src'

This I can fix* by the adding $LOCALBASE/lib to the LDFLAGS in the port Makefile, and the build will succeed.

However, it wont then run properly. The address bar doesn't change unless I click the new 'privacy button' to the left of the address bar, then it will update. Browsing to a new URI by clicking a link, switching to or creating a tab will not change the address bar to the correct value.

Is it possible this is some cruft left over in my home directory? I have completely deinstalled all mozilla ports I can think of, and moved out of the way my .mozilla folder.

I've scheduled a full kernel/world update tonight, to see if that makes any major difference - I know I'm a little out of date now...

Would any other details be useful? Let me know.

Cheers

Tom

* Interesting, I just noticed that this linker line already has -L $LOCALBASE/lib , so I'm not sure what effect this is having. It is 100% reproducible though, and the fix is:
