help with libmozjs.so, etc., requested

[Teus Benschop <teusjannette gmail com>]

Hello,

I have come to this list looking for help. I hope that you can do me 
this favour and hopefully help.

When running my program that uses the gecko engine, it works fine on 
Debian based distributions. But on distributions like Fedora, I get this 
error when starting the program:

error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory

People suggest to make symbolic links from the 
/usr/lib/firefox*/libmozjs.so to /usr/lib. In fact when I run the 
commands below, it finds the shared libraries:

cd /usr/lib/firefox*
cp -r * ..

But then the gecko engine still does not work, it fails silently.

I am looking at the epiphany source, and notice that epiphany runs fine 
on Fedora without making the symbolic links to the mozilla libraries. 
And I know that the developers of epiphany have written gecko.m4 and 
have invested a great lot of time in making applications use the gecko 
engine without difficulty. I hope that you will be able to do me a 
favour and help me using your experience how to solve this kind of 
problem. I am the programmer of Bibledit (bibledit.org).

Thank you a lot!
