Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee does lyrics, too!

[Patrick van Staveren <trick vanstaveren us>]

This is a frustrating problem that I've been trying to sort out.

Many distributions ship things broken-ish - putting libgtkembedmoz.so  
in /usr/lib/{mozilla product}/.  In your case it seems strange since  
you have the library symlinked from /usr/lib - the DLL loader should  
find it as long as it's in ld.so.conf (and you've run ldconfig  
recently).

I've been tinkering around with a shell script that will attempt to  
locate the library and hardcode the path to it in your  
Wikipedia.dll.config file, but I haven't attached it in subversion.   
Basically what it would do is edit that last dllmap line in  
Wikipedia.dll.config to point to the full path to the proper library.

If you could try for me...edit that last line to say:
<dllmap dll="gtkembedmoz.dll" target="/usr/lib/libgtkembedmoz.so"/>
and try it.  If this fails, try:
<dllmap dll="gtkembedmoz.dll"  
target="/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13/libgtkembedmoz.so"/>
Of course, naturally, this will fail when you upgrade mozilla to a  
newer version, but it's worth a try.

Another thing is to check if your distribution knows any tricks - peek  
in the file  
/usr/lib/mono/gac/gecko-sharp/2.{whatever}/gecko-sharp.dll.config and  
see if it is anything fancy.  That's where I got Wikipedia.dll.config  
from in the first place, so maybe it might point to some answers for  
you.

If you try any of this out, please send your testings to the mailing  
list to help me figure out how to better ship the plugin.

Cheers,

Patrick
