Yes, for JavaScript, I started out with errors about jsapi.h - which I found in the mozjs bits, which I then got into a path, but then it started not finding other headers, some of which appear to no longer exist.

It feels like SpiderMonkey has changed its API and JavaScript and JavaScript::SeaMonkey haven't been updated to follow allong.

If you go https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey and get http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/mozjs17.0.0.tar.gz its there mozjs2013\mozjs17.0.0\js\src\jsapi.h So if installed binaries and they're missing jsapi.h you probably didn't install the dev/development libraries ...

I mentioned I was able to find jsapi.h, but eventually there is a file that is not found, meaning that particular header was deprecated and removed, but the perl modules never updated with it. I had installed the native libmozjs185 1.0 and dev modules, and I also attempted with home built libraries direct from mozilla. The perl JavaScript and JavaScript::SeaMonkey modules do not currently work (and as far as I can tell haven't for at least a year if not longer). my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];	[reply]
