Compiling and running iceweasel

[Johan Rudholm]

Hi!

I hope this is the right place to ask, if not, perhaps someone could tell 
me where to direct my question?

I'm trying to run my compiled version of iceweasel-2.0.0.4, but the 
browser window refuses to show itself. When running "strace -f" on the 
program, it's clear that one of the children is stuck in a loop trying 
to communicate with its parent:

[pid 18190] getppid()                   = 18189
[pid 18190] poll([{fd=9, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0
[pid 18190] getppid()                   = 18189
[pid 18190] poll([{fd=9, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0

and continuing like this until interrupted. fd 9 is the other end of a 
pipe to the parent process.

Does anyone have a clue as to where to problem lies? Any and all help 
appreciated!
