Hi Scott and Dan,
Dan we (Scott and I) have been trying to track down a problem with the latest
mozilla and openoffice when it registers the libnecko component.
The problem seems to be missing "-fPIC".
zlib (/usr/lib/libz.so.1) is linked into alot of code.
Would you belive that libz.so is NOT being built with -fPIC for YDL 2.0?
Here is the output of rpm --rebuild on the zlib source rpm:
[root@localhost SRPMS]# rpm --rebuild zlib*.src.rpm
Installing zlib-1.1.3-12.src.rpm
...snip...
Checking for mmap support... Yes.

You might want to release a fixed version of zlib.
