Reporter do you have a stacktrace from the crash?
Keywords: crash
We're going to need more info before we can start looking into this, cause all the builds I've tried seem to work. Are you using a nightly build which you downloaded? If so what is the build ID or date? How are you invoking the editor? From the command line? What args are you using? You loading with a default URL?
Whiteboard: NEED MORE INFO
Using nightly build mozilla.org Linux i386 link that lead directly to the i686.tar.gz package BUILD ID: 20010426 08 This newer build also crashes in a similar manner. On startup of Composer,composer will crash (including any other mozilla instance open). kin@netscape.com Just sent you info thru the email

Taking off of beppe's list. FYI Roger is using Linux Mandrake 8.0 and also had similar results in Mandrake 7.0. Akkana are you aware of any problems we have with Linux Mandrake?
I haven't heard of any Mandrake-specific problems.

Pretty much still defaults here. Crashes when doing Tasks > Composer. Composer atleast tries to startup now, but still crashes immediately. (btw...didn't have any problems with mandrake 7.0 just 8.0) Just a guess, but mandrake updated allot of stuff. maybe the mdk 8.0 o/s has a new libs that yours doesn't?
Seems that build 2001040912 shows no problems when loading composer! mmmm... k, what did you guyz do new between this? Seems like the problem does trace back to mozilla? below, i clipped some output that loaded composer successfully: [roger]$ /usr/bin/mozilla Registering plugin 0 for: "*","All types",".*" Registering plugin 0 for: "*","All types",".*" JavaScript error: chrome://global/content/scrollbarBindings.xml#scrollbar.initScrollbar() line 2: JavaScript error: line 0: uncaught exception: Scrollbars in this skin are not properly supporting mac smart-scrolling prefs!

I'm wondering if this crash has something to do with the release builds switching over to gcc 2.95.3? Some people are having problems running builds produced with this compiler because it requires libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 which alot of people don't seem to have installed on their machine. If that's not it, I'm at a loss at how to repro the problem since I don't have Mandrake Linux. Roger, are you familiar with gdb? If you are you can run mozilla with the --debug option which runs gdb with all the neccessary environment variables set. Getting a stack trace would really help out here.
Hey Roger, any updates/comments related to my last posting?
marking as wfm, if you can repro this one please include the information that has been requested (mainly the stacktrace).
