hi all,
i am facing problems while configuring and building the mozilla NSS. i have downloaded the source tar balls of nss-3.9 which has nspr with in it. i have tried to build in the nss directory "make nss_build_all". i got the following error message.

This is a known bug when you compile NSS 3.9
with GCC 4.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284386

I suggest you download the NSS 3.11 tar balls:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_RTM

i have tried to run the binary distribution using the "cmsutil". i got the following error message.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/mozillanss/nss-3.9/bin$ ./cmsutil -C -i try -o out -v
received commands
cmsutil: NSS_Init failed: An I/O error occurred during security authorization.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/mozillanss/nss-3.9/bin$

This means

    rv = NSS_InitReadWrite(SECU_ConfigDirectory(NULL));

failed.  Hopefully someone else knows why.  You can
try creating a ".netscape" directory in your home
directory before you run cmsutil, or specifying the
-d dbdir option
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/cmsutil.html).
