Icecat / Gnash

[Nigel Rumens]

Hi,

Had a quick play with icecat and gnash.

Icecat - icecat-2.0.0.11-g1 compiled from source tar distribution
Gnash downloaded latest version from cvs and compiled.

Tried playing a video form youtube and got:

xEmbed supported in this browser
GTK2 supported in this browser

Closed 45files.

/usr/local/bin/gtk-gnash: /usr/local/lib/icecat-2.0.0.11-g1/libnss3.so: 
version `NSS_3.12' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4)

Somthing to do with nss by the looks of it so re ran configure for icecat:-
./configure --enable-gui=gtk --with-system-nss

(--enablue-gui=gtk - 'cos I don't use kde)

Tried again and exactly the same thing happened

Then (I was feeling beligerant at the time!) moved 
/usr/local/lib/icecat-2.0.0.11-g1/libnss3.so
out of the way so it couldn't use it (seemed to be rebuilt even with 
--with-system-nss)......

....and hey presto I can watch videos on youtube with icecat/gnash.

Loads of whinge messages along the lines of:-

07:24:51: ACTIONSCRIPT ERROR: Reference to undefined member 
[string:seekBar_l] of object 
[gnash::sprite_instance(_level0.player.controller):0x2aaab41062e0]
19625] 07:24:51: ACTIONSCRIPT ERROR: -- set_member 
[undefined]._x=[number:0] on invalid object!
19625] 07:24:51: ACTIONSCRIPT ERROR: Reference to undefined member 
[string:seekBar_r] of object 
[gnash::sprite_instance(_level0.player.controller):0x2aaab41062e0]

But it works.

By the way system is Fedora 8 running on amd64

Posted this here as on the gnuzilla website it says:- It would be 
particularly helpful to test GNU IceCat with GNU Gnash 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/>.

So in case anyone is interested - that's the result of a very quick and 
VERY dirty test.

Cheers
