Hello,

maybe this information will useful for someone.

I had some problem getting 32bit Firefox-bin 2.0.0.1 via smgl-emul32
to work with my Sourcemage 64bit intallation.
The main problem was that firefox crashed every time a dialog (save
file, preference,..) opened.
It looks like the cause of the problem was either that pango 1.4.0 is provided
by the smgl-emul32 spell but Firefox 2.0.0.1 needs 1.5.0 and/or there are no
pangorc, pango.modules and pangox.aliases files in this spell
since I got a console message about an critical pango error when Firefox
crashed.

So I have downloaded the Slackware package of pango: pango-1.12.4-i486-1.tgz
and added its "etc" directory and .so files from this archive to the correct
/opt/emul32 sub directories and edited the paths in the etc files to match my
setup.

Then I created the file /usr/local/bin/32bit with the following lines
-----
#!/bin/sh

export GTK_PATH=/opt/emul32/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/

export PANGO_RC_FILE=/opt/emul32/etc/pango/pangorc

export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/opt/emul32/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

$*
------


When I start the 32bit firefox spell with the command "32bit firefox"
everything works fine for me now.

Regards,
Ingo
