This shouldn't be necessary, but it is for now on most install, if it is not done gmusicbrowser will crash (segmentation fault) as soon as it tries to display a mozembed widget. Add “/usr/lib/firefox” to the library path, either everytime by doing “export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox”, or only once by adding the path to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig (needs root/sudo)

install the perl-Gtk2-MozEmbed-0.06 package. And follow the Important instructions above.

There is currently no package for it in debian/ubuntu so follow the instructions to install from source, for this, on a ubuntu feisty, you will need to install these packages :

• libextutils-pkgconfig-perl
• libextutils-depends-perl
• libgtk2.0-dev
• firefox-dev

These instructions will install the gtkmozembed perl bindings in a sandbox, that way, you don't need root permissions and can't break your system. Replace /home/login/sandbox by a valid folder, this is where the files will be installed

1. mkdir /home/login/sandbox
2. Download and untar Gtk2-MozEmbed-0.06.tar.gz from sourceforge
3. cd Gtk2-MozEmbed-0.06
4. perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/login/sandbox && make && make install

And PERL5LIB must be set when gmusicbrowser is launched, so that it can find the installed Gtk2::MozEmbed. It can be done either :

- by adding “export PERL5LIB=/home/login/sandbox/lib/perl/:$PERL5LIB” in your ~/.bashrc
- or by running gmusicbrowser through a small shell script :

  #!/bin/sh
  export PERL5LIB=/home/login/sandbox/lib/perl/:$PERL5LIB
  exec gmusicbrowser

save this script, for example in /home/login/gmusicbrowser.sh, make it executable :

chmod +x gmusicbrowser.sh

and change the command in the launcher's properties with : /home/login/gmusicbrowser.sh

On Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, I had to specify more the path for perl libraries, by using

export PERL5LIB=/home/login/sandbox/lib/perl/5.8.8/:$PERL5LIB

instead of

export PERL5LIB=/home/login/sandbox/lib/perl/:$PERL5LIB

Then follow the Important instructions above

You can test everything works by running “perl examples/pumpzilla”
