Not really sure who this goes to... but if you would please direct to the proper person it will be much appreciated. I am just a software engineer @ Raytheon and thought I would download the source and build it... well... built Mozilla on a Sun Ultra 2 Enterprise running Solaris 2.5.1, got a few warnings but when I went to run "<mozilla_dir>./dist/SunOS5.5.1_sparc_OPT.OBJ/bin/mozilla-export" I got this error: "ld.so.1: ./dist/SunOS5.5.1_sparc_OPT.OBJ/bin/mozilla-export: fatal: libplds21.so: can't open file: errno=2 Killed" (I also had to download gmake, got version 3.77, we are using gcc 2.7.2 - which you say that you support.) I saw some "sh:" errors in the make having to deal with xemacs.... didn't understand why... since you said on your web page that you didn't need xemacs. Soooo.... did I not compile correctly, or can it just not find a file?

Hi, You need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to <mozilla_dir>./dist/SunOS5.5.1_sparc_OPT.OBJ/bin before you run mozilla-export, because now Mozilla links with a few libraries (including plds21) dynamically. Please let me know if this works so that I can close the bug.

It was confirmed that the fix worked. Marked the bug fixed.
Closed the bug.
Sent email to leaf@netscape.com and cyeh@netscape.com to update the Unix build instructions at http://www.mozilla.org/docs/tplist/catBuild/unix-build.html to mention the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH at run time.
