Hello,

I'm searching for a (javascript-capable) browser which works without the need of additional libraries or dependencies. There ist already a thread here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ux-4175450674/
, but I can't see a solution.

I've tried the proposed links, but the result is:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/rals/ext-dat/firefox/libxul.so:
libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM

ldd firefox gives

$ ldd ./firefox
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x0071b000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0x00f58000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x00aed000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0014e000)

Is there a solution or where is my mistake?

Thanks,
Ralf

i am assuming you are on old 32 bit hardware using a 32 bit OS

the current 32 bit firefox 26
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla....st/linux-i686/
( the ftp page is the SAME as http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ )


and use the "run-mozilla.sh" script to set the environmental variables

the computer for which I want that gives at `cat /proc/cpuinfo`:

Is this what you've asked?

Thanks

the problem is with libxul, the core of quite all mozilla applications, do "ldd /home/rals/ext-dat/firefox/libxul.so" and "ls -la /us/lib/libXrender*", even the portable version of firefox (as in tor-bundle) is dynamically linked against some libraries (libxul refers to 80 libraries), all of these are necessary to run a healty linux system. Usually, you get this kind of problem when a library bump his version. In your case, libXrender is missing or misplaced, but it's a required library.

The real question is - Why do you need a standalone, no library dependencies?

If it is because of unresolved dependencies, knowing your distribution would help. If there is another, more esoteric, reason you could always download the source and go for a statically compiled version including all the library code (best of luck with that! Probably be a huge memory hog, as well.

Hello,

the answers with the "hint" of a "healthy system" and "why you need that" are not at all helpful for me. I've learned that from firefox to open source there's a long distance. I found a browser that solved my requirements, "QtWeb". Maybe there are some (other) problems with this browser, but as it ist not only impossible for a normal user to get a firefox browser as asked but there ist also no working way to find solutions for questions like that - firefox is not what I need.

Thanks anyway for the good will, best regards,

R. Schuessler
