Problem trying to run OWB

When I type "OWB" into a shell from the directory where OWB is located, a window comes up that is labeled "ELF Library" which contains the message "Unknown/unsupported Reloc". I'm guessing that this is trying to tell me that there is probably some other piece of software or library that is needed that I either do not have or is not up to date. Can someone please enlighten me?

I also have a problem getting OWB to start, but for me it just crashes with an ISI 80% of the times I try to start it.

I tried removing all .so files and installing the .so from OWB 1.21 and 1.24 but apparently more are lacking. Probably some from OS4 July, right?

Now I posted a crashlog at OS4depot:

Perhaps we can rule out the SOs and go on to the toolbar images and fonts needed??

I noticed that OWB v1.2x does not include the toolbar images, but I still have them in my OWB dir!

Python crashed with a DSI when I just executed "python" in a shell in ram: with the assign set.

It's a newlib crash. Do I need a newer OS4 beta newlib?

It's similar to the problems Raziel has, it's executing random code instead of the correct function but in your case there aren't even any shared objects involved, the function it should have called is in the OWB executable itself. No idea why it doesn't work for 3 or 4 users

But the python crashlog makes no sense at all, c:python is a tiny executable with only about 1.6 KB code which just calls functions in libpython25.so but in your crashlog are offsets of over 1.1 MB from the start of the python executable!?

t always happens when OS4 is executing for a while, and when you execute some operations while you open OWB...for example close IBrowse, chat with WookieChat etc...
I'm scared every way I launch OWB, because I know it could crash during loading...

It starts without problems here, but it does freeze very often
