[Chromium-dev] Re: [Chromium-users] A strange problem

[Brian P. <bri...@tu...>]

I had fixed a similar problem in the glloader.c file, but missed this.

This is actually an interesting issue.  The SYSTEM_LIB_DIR value 
should either be /usr/lib/ or /usr/lib64/ depending on whether the 
application is 32 or 64-bit.  But I'm not sure how to determine that 
from within the crappfaker.

The crappfaker uses fork() to spawn the application.  So crappfaker 
could be 32-bit while the application is 64-bit, or vice versa.  If we 
were to assume that the crappfaker and application were both 32 or 
64-bit that would simplify things.

I'd have to study the appfaker.c code for a while.  I've never touched 
it before.  Ideas are welcome.
