Firefox broken after todays update

[ThinIce]

Hi all

Installed this morning's updates (amongst which was a new version of FF) and now kicking it off from the terminal just gives the following

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 416: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

I've tried reinstalling the previous version, which just gives the same error, so it must have been one of the other updates.

Any ideas on which one or what to try greatly appreciated...

thanks for the reply running this as "sudo ldconfig" doesn't give any error or other output however

Have downloaded Firefox3 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

Whilst this gives a few errors to the terminal...it does run...

You might get a good answer here.

Go to "Firefox Builds" and ask away. That's where they discuss Firefox 3 now.
