 hi,
 Running the 2.2.38-2 build of the Tor Browser Bundle on a Kubuntu 12.04
 live usb and it gave the following problems.[[BR]]
 Vidalia starts fine and connects to the network. The browser doesn't start
 with the error :[[BR]]

 {{{
 (firefox:stderr): XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /tmp/tor-browser_en-
 US/App/Firefox/libxpcom.so:
 (firefox:stderr): libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
 or directory
 }}}
 I found the libxul.so in the App/Firefox directory.[[BR]]
 However, adding "./App/Firefox" to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable
 resulted in the following error:[[BR]]
 {{{
 (firefox:stderr): XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /tmp/tor-browser_en-
 US/App/Firefox/libxpcom.so:
 (firefox:stderr): libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No
 such file or directory
 }}}
 ldd on the offending libxpcom shows :[[BR]]
 {{{
 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
 }}}
 Manually copying those files from another system into the local folders
 gets everything to work.[[BR]]
 I noticed this first with the ver 2.2.38-1. I haven't check with any
 version prior to that.[[BR]]
 I've been able to use 2.2.38-1 of the browser bundle with an installed
 version of Kubuntu 11.10. [[BR]]
 This is the first time I've tried to use a version of the browser bundle
 with a Live USB.
