also works fine on redhat with sm 1.7 and javascript.pm 1.11. ubuntu ships with javascript.pm 1.08, and links against mozlla javascript 1.8.1. see: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/libjavascript-perl/1.08-1 for their patches. see also: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/libmozjs0d/1.8.1.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 let me know if i should send this to ubuntu instead. thanks!

Officially I only support the standalone spidermonkey releases from Mozilla which at the date 1.7 is the latest. 1.8.1 is something they've got with FF probably. The dists Makefile.PL does contain some checks to see if SM has been installed by some package manager but this will go away in some future version as it causes me to much hassle. Could you download, build and test against the official SM release from mozilla (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/ js-1.7.0.tar.gz) ? If it still fails using JavaScript.pm 1.11 and SM 1.7 I'll take a look at it otherwise I'll close this as not a bug and you should report it to ubuntu or debian instead. Thanks, Claes

Caused because upstreams SpiderMonkey package provided by distro isn't supported.
