Library error while opening firefox
I have Solaris-10 zone, where I can open firefox in GUI via MobaXterm with root user, but when I try to open it with non root user, it fails with below error
Code:
$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
$ firefox
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/firefox/components/libdocshell.so: symbol PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize: referenced symbol not found
Killed
$ ls -l /lib/sparcv9/ld.so.1 /lib/ld.so.1 /usr/lib/ld.so.1 /usr/lib/sparcv9/ld.so.1 /etc/lib/ld.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          17 Mar  1  2013 /etc/lib/ld.so.1 -> ../../lib/ld.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin       281248 Jun 14  2011 /lib/ld.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin       301600 Jun 14  2011 /lib/sparcv9/ld.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          17 Feb  7  2009 /usr/lib/ld.so.1 -> ../../lib/ld.so.1

$

Can somebody point me, what can be its fix ?

From your current environment run the shell command
Code:
ldd /usr/lib/firefox/components/libdocshell.so

and compare with
Code:
env -i ldd /usr/lib/firefox/components/libdocshell.so

Is there a difference?

There is no difference, when I do it from root. But there are differences with no root user. here is from non-root user

You have an incompatible component /t3/apps/documentum2/product/6.6/bin/libplds4.so in your environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Verify with
Code:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Try
Code:
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
firefox

Yes, I can open firefox after unsetting it.
Code:
/t3/apps/documentum$ firefox
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/firefox/components/libdocshell.so: symbol PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize: referenced symbol not found
Killed
/t3/apps/documentum$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/t3/apps/wl/8.1.6/jdk142_11/lib:/t3/apps/documentum/product/5.3/bin:/t3/apps/documentum/fulltext/verity271/_ssol26/bin:/t3/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib:/t3/data/documentum/share/dfc:/t3/apps/wl/8.1.6/jdk142_11/jre/lib:/t3/apps/wl/8.1.6/jdk142_11/jre/lib/sparc/client
/t3/apps/documentum$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/t3/apps/documentum$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/t3/apps/documentum$ firefox

But these env variables are needed for their application. Do we know, what can be done to fix this ?

Fix your application more close to the application - so it does not impact other applications.
Maybe your /path/to/application is a start script?
Then insert at the beginning
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...

or just unset it specifically for firefox:
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH= firefox
