Debian: libxul.so – cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

by on Jun.11, 2012, under Linux (Ubuntu)

Today I installed the current Mozilla Firefox version (13.0) on my Debian machine. When starting Firefox I received the following error message:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/user/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

It turned out I would have to install the ia32-libs-gtk libraries in order to get it up and running.

apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk
