[Thread] Firefox 7

I'm sorry

but it works at all and it's only my problem?

Same problem here....

I have the same problem on Windows 64bit ..

Same here on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit

I got the same message on my opensuse-11.4_x86_64bit system after updating firefox to version 7.0 yesterday. If i start gipsy and look at the error message console i get a message like this:

Native module at path '/home/flieger/.mozilla/firefox/aac4paay.default/extensions/gipsy@pgweb.cz/platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/gipsy.so' is incompatible with this version of Firefox, has version 6, expected 7.

kindly regards for future help

Same problem with Ubuntu 11.04 and firefox 7.0.1

Best regards,

Simon

Same problem Mac OS X 10.7.1

Same problem :-(

same :(

This is problem with firefox 7: i will recompile gipsy asap, sorry, I was on holidays last 14 days without access to the computer...

I have downloaded the latest version from addons.mozilla.org (version 1.7.3), but still get the same error. I realized that I should check my shared lib dependencies. I had some "not found" shared libs while checking gipsy.so and I fixed them, but I still get the same error.

System:

Firefox for openSUSE 7.0.1

ldd ...gipsy@pgweb.cz/platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/gipsy.so : no failing dependencies

Any idea?

Hi ondrap,

will you be doing a version for FF8 while recompiling GiPSy?

This would be nice!

Hello, is there a solution for the problem with firefox 7 (first posting)???

Same for me. Kubuntu 11.10

No way.

What the hell is the solution ?

thanks

Moreover here is my ldd gipsy.so result:

linux-gate.so.1 => (0x002e5000)

libusb-0.1.so.4 => /lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 (0x00f69000)

How volfi (post 11) suggests i checked gipsy.so with ldd. I got the same results like the author cut in post 15. I fixed this by copying the libxul.so and libxpcom.so in the expected folder. The ldd check ended with success. But still i get the same firefox error message:

Native module at path '/home/flieger/.mozilla/firefox/aac4paay.default/extensions/gipsy@pgweb.cz/platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/gipsy.so' is incompatible with this version of Firefox, has version 6, expected 7

Firefox 8 is out!

I'm using a "standalone" FF6 version just for GiPSy, but not everybody is able to set up such a thing, the world needs an updated version!

In case someone wants to setup the standalone FF6, here is my guide:

ulisse.wordpress.com/howto/how-to-set-up-a-local-firefox-6-install-to-use-exclusively-with-gipsy/

Thanks Ulisse for the guide!

the "download Firefox 6.0.2 for Windows system from here" gives the italian version, where I have some problem reading italian... ;-)

Use

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/6.0.2/win32/ to download the version in the language prefered.

sorry about that, link in the guide updated ;)

Hello,

I had GiPSy working fine with firefox 2 even with firefox 3 installed. I used ff2 for gipsy only. Then I added firefox 7, and all changed. ff7 decided to disactivate gipsy 1.1 that I used. Nightmare after that. No configuration of ff and gipsy ever worked. Now I have tried all the trick displayed here (and more) and I still get the error message "error loading gps component". My OS is window 2000. Anyone has a clue or an idea?

thanks,

Serge.

Which OS do you have? I am just completing official version for FF10, so that will hopefully help.

Using OS Microsoft Windows 2000.

I wouldn't mind using a standalone version of FF just for gipsy. That is what I was doing with the FF2 last summer. I really got bummed when the new FF disabled gipsy in FF2 as well. It was working perfectly before that.

I tried again with XP and ff7 and I still get the error message when I try to use gipsy.
