Firefox will returns an error

[kraseef]

Hi All,

For quite some time now I am unable to run firefox on my Hp mini 110 running FC14. This happened, I think, after an update that I have done.

When ever I run firefox I get the following messages.

[Dee@localhost]$ firefox 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 549, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 532, in main
    known_paths = addsitepackages(known_paths)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 311, in addsitepackages
    addsitedir(sitedir, known_paths)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 188, in addsitedir
    addpackage(sitedir, name, known_paths)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 158, in addpackage
    exec line
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

    import select
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/selectmodule.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct

Can any body help.

You could try:

package-cleanup --dupes
package-cleanup --problems
rpm -V python firefox

to make sure everything is proper. If that comes up clean then maybe reinstall firefox (not that I think that would help if the above is clean since the problem probably lies elsewhere in that case).

Hi

Had the same problem, same fix worked. Thank you very much.

Now all I need to do is work out why VirtualBox breaks every time I upgrade LOL
