Hi all,

Am trying to use the Chromium browser from Slackware 13.1 repository
at Slacky with Slackware 13.0 here. A Chromium package for 13.0 does not
exist.

It complains

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

which is obviously the updated libjpeg-v8a it expects from 13.1.

My question is: is it ok to upgrade libjpeg on the 13.0 system without
detrimental side effects, or can the two live side by side?

Or should I rather compile it for my system if that's possible with the
needed dependencies, i.e. it could result in the same issue, there's
got to be a reason why it's provided for 13.1 and not for 13.0 on
slacky, like perhaps it doesn't build.

Thanks.

Barnaby

Why, with all the security advantages Linux provides, would you want to
drill a great big hole in it by installing such a horrible chunk of
blatent corporate spyware?

Barnabyh replies:

Thanks for the warning. What I'm reading is that Chromium is the
open-source version underlying Google-chrome, much like Mozilla was for
Netscape.
So my impression was all the privacy invasive features would be stripped
out, not activated, not transmitting to Google at least?

Anyone know more about this?

Thanks.

Barnabyh

(Must - not -bwahahaha - Must not... Gnnn!)

You ever tried to lock anything down with "mozilla" under the hood?

Don't forget that Firefox\Seamonkey are "freebies" from Time\Warner\AOL.

IOW, not much better than M$ Interest Exploiter, and then comes Chrime.


Cynical? Moi? ;)
