chmsee breaks on Fedora

[GoogleCodeExporter]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732154

Hello, I have reported this bug, for the second time, on my distribution (link 
above). I use Fedora 15 LXDE, and the chmsee repo version. 

---
[mt@nh28d linux]$ chmsee

** (chmsee:6264): WARNING **: GECKO_UTILS >>> Couldn't find a compatible GRE!

** ERROR **: Initialize html render engine failed!
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)

---
I can usually expect a testing update package  within weeks, but I have got 
many books using the proprietary .chm format and that I learn on a daily basis.

Can I have some feedback about the nature of the problem (is it chmsee related, 
or distro related). Looks like the bug occurs after a FF update (but I am not 
positive).

I like chmsee best as a chm reader, but I am a bit annoyed if it breaks from 
time to time on my system.

Thanks

Sorry about this buggy software:(

After mozilla upgrading to xulrunner 5.0, the gtkmoz-embedded component which 
chmsee 1.3.* depended is dropped. I guess the old patch 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=71713) is still worked with the 
old xulrunner. When you update Fedora, the old xulrunner gone, the dependence 
is broken, chmsee cannot launch again.

Some distributions maintain two different versions xulrunner to support some 
old packages. I recommend you to find whether there is an old xulrunner lib 
(maybe named libxul) existed in Fedora 15.

thank you for the explanation. so it depends on the Fedora package maintainer 
to update chmsee each time mozilla update xulrunner. I see.

I will update the bug report FI.

# Yum info libxul return Error: No matching Packages to list. I might want to 
ask on the Fedora forum.

Thanks again.
