Debian: libxul.so – cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
by admin on Jun.11, 2012, under Linux (Ubuntu)
Today I installed the current Mozilla Firefox version (13.0) on my Debian machine. When starting Firefox I received the following error message:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/user/firefox/libxpcom.so: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM.
It turned out I would have to install the ia32-libs-gtk libraries in order to get it up and running.
apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk
