Bug#452807: Reproducing 452807

[brian m. carlson]

I'm experiencing the same problem as the submitter. I tracked it down to the fact that I'm using a 2.6.24-rc3 kernel, where uname -m reports "x86" (see the X-Machine header in this email). Hence, attempting to invoke the viewer manually (with TARGET_OS=linux TARGET_ARCH=i386 ./npviewer --test --plugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so) causes a segmentation fault, and so the test fails in src/npw-config.c, and nothing works.

Treating "x86" as "x86-64" seems to work for me, but it probably won't work in general. You might either complain to the kernel packagers (this is a pre-release kernel, so they might get upstream to fix it), or use "file /lib/libc.so.6" and look at (32|64)-bit to see which it is. Note that this will require a dependency on "file". Also note that this does not seem to be the problem for the original submitter.
