Not sure users who prefer a GUI over the command line, would be too happy about having to fix compile errors prior to running the program?

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create window.: OsError("GL context creation failed")', ../src/libcore/result.rs:785 note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.

./servo welcome to servo, than it changes to a white window

Debian 8

Running ./servo gives me this error.

"./servo: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I guess it should be an easy fix. But if there are instructions to copy/paste that would really help. If someone has an answer, it would be great if you can please post it here.

Edit 1: I think the problem is because I am trying to run it on ubuntu 14.04 server. Also I am using xming and putty x11 forwarding. I installed libegl using 'sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev'. Now I am getting a new error.

Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display "localhost:12.0". thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create window.: NoAvailablePixelFormat', ../src/libcore/result.rs:785 note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.

So I ran with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 and this is the stack trace.

Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display "localhost:12.0".

That is on Fedora 23, and what's really strange to me, is that I compiled Servo about a week ago myself and that build works.

did not try/verify though

But anyway, the problem you described is the fault of your vendor, not "Linux".

> For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.9.8.4.

Good find, Project Zero!

I followed the steps to install it on MacOS from the GitHub page and I'm thinking maybe I ran the curl command from the wrong directory, as when I try to run ./motor-admin, it gives two dlyd errors:

1) "lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___darwin_check_fd_set_overflow"

2) "Symbol not found: ___darwin_check_fd_set_overflow"

And it shows the "Referenced from:" being my current directory, somewhere in my Documents folder, and then "Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib"

Any idea what might be causing the error?

Thanks!

sudo dtruss -d -t bind,listen,accept,poll,read,write nc -l -p 8080

dtrace: failed to execute nc: dtrace cannot control executables signed with restricted entitlements

If you copy nc over to /tmp/ and run dtruss again, it will work. Hope that helps others. Fun article, OP!

It's still odd for software to only work when launched from a specific directory, but not necessarily a critical security vulnerability then.

``` sudo codesign -f -s - /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SidecarCore.framework/Versions/A/SidecarCore ```

A properly signed SidecarCore modified with free-sidecar shouldn't cause random crashes.

Launch daemons are installed for the system only. Normal users can only run agents.

I think you're not talking now about the HobbyistDV version mentioned in the parent comment, are you?
