[Htmlvalidator-help] Problem on install: openSUSE 10.3 x86_64, 32bit FF 2.0.0.11

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi Marc,

again me with the same problem :-( You helped me before (Feb 2007, for 
example) when you put my nose on the doc, I hope you succeed this time, 
too ;-)

Well, I use openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 and - because I want to use Java - the 
32bit Version of Firefox 2.0.0.11.

On starting FF, I am thrown to a page that tells me "FATAL ERROR : The 
dynamic C library  contained in the extension file could not be found." 
This is independent of my selection of the validation method.

So I follow the link to 
http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/faq.html#LINUX and find the usual 
solution, ldd. I get:

I do not see a missing library. I do not see a 64bit library, they are 
all in /usr/lib64.

After adding /usr/lib/firefox (before xulrunner) to the ldconfig files 
and running ldconfig as root, I get:

ldd libnstidy.so

         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)

Hm. We are not amused ;-)

What will be the reason for the eror, when ldconfig tells me all 
libraries are present? At the bottom of the Errors/FAQ page, you give 
instructions how to create a debug file, but the directory contains 
files from last August only, though I'm reproducing the bug on every 
restart of FF. I will disable HTML validator now to get FF working :-(
