[openvrml-develop] How to debug openvrml? (packaging problem for gentoo linux)

[Andreas K. H. <and...@ph...>]

Hi, 

I am trying to package a recent version of openvrml for Gentoo Linux. 
Everything compiles and installs fine by now, however it just does not do 
anything:

- the player: starts fine, displays something like an empty window. When I 
load a file, nothing happens at all

- the browser plugin: only displays an empty rectangle. then the browser hangs 
for a while, and in .xsession-errors I get 
** (firefox:20135): CRITICAL **: Browser creation failed: Did not receive a 
reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, 
the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, 
or the network connection was broken.

How and where can I get more debug output to nail down the problem?

An xembed process is running in the background, I checked. 

I am using the following libraries: (Java and javascript nodes are disabled 
for the moment)

 `-- dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.3-r2
 `-- dev-libs/boost-1.39.0
 `-- dev-libs/glib-2.20.5
 `-- sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1
 `-- media-libs/libpng-1.2.38 [ png ]
 `-- media-libs/jpeg-7 [ jpeg ]
 `-- media-libs/freetype-2.3.9-r1 [ truetype ]
 `-- media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2 [ truetype ]
 `-- net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.2-r2 [ javascript ]
 `-- x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 [ xembed ]
 `-- x11-libs/gtkglext-1.2.0 [ xembed ]
 `-- gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.24.1 [ player ]
 `-- gnome-base/libgnome-2.26.0 [ player ]
 `-- gnome-base/libglade-2.6.4 [ player ]
 `-- net-misc/curl-7.19.6 [ player ]
 `-- media-libs/libsdl-1.2.13-r1 [ examples ]

Thanks in advance for any hints, 
Andreas
