Firefox Wont Open in Openbox on Arch
 
I have just recently installed Arch and I decided to go with Openbox as a stand-alone desktop. Unfortunately I am having some trouble getting it to work as it should.

Currently I have Openbox, Arch, SLiM and Tint2 all updated to it's newest versions.

My exact procedure:
Turn on computer, log into my user account in command-line, type "sudo slim", log into my user account in SLiM, right click desktop, Internet>>Firefox.

The result is literally nothing. No msgbox saying it doesn't exist like when I click something like Nautilus -- which I don't actually have. I also checked "ps -A | grep firefox" nothing showed up. I can fairly safely conclude that it just does nothing.

I also tried "firefox" in the xterm, which says "firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: 9-satalist_get_data"

The above error is also shown when I cd to /usr/lib/firefox and run "firefox" (with and without sudo).

Does anyone know what might be wrong? I have a feeling I configured something wrong, as the Openbox wiki is quite vague in configuration and installation instructions. Does anyone know of a link that provide much more thorough instructions?

Thanks for reading, please share if you have any input at all.

EDIT: I installed and tested Thunar on Openbox too. It, also doesn't open, but gives no error. Only xterm seems to be working at the moment.

You might try updating glib and gtk.
