Comment 2 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-09-13 20:37:53 UTC

You can try to get a backtrace:
The best would be to install the debuginfo package and run firefox within gdb

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib gdb /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox/bin

and collect the backtrace via gdb's bt command

Dirk, it seems to be in dragonegg. Can you please investigate?

Comment 6 Dirk Mueller 2005-10-20 12:46:30 UTC

kghostview requires a lot of KDE framework, which isn't available. so I blacklist postscript.

Comment 7 Dirk Mueller 2005-10-20 12:47:13 UTC

submitted for 10.1 currently, will request a backport for 10.0 when the other dragonegg bug is fixed.
