libnss3.so can't be found, and so session ID is null

[Olivia Yang]

Hi, I'm trying to run Selenium tests written in Java from Eclipse on Linux machine.  The following is a list of what I have on my machine.

1. PATH=:/apollo/env/SDETools/bin:... ...:/home/oliviay/firefox20
2. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/third-party/lib:/usr/lib:/home/oliviay/firefox20:/apollo/env/SDETools/lib:/usr/lib/firefox
3. Updating /etc/ld.so.conf, and then you ‘ldconfig’
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib
/usr/lib/firefox
4. Symlink

oliviay-2.desktop% ls -l /usr/lib/firefox
         lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot           23 Feb 12 14:31 /usr/lib/firefox -> /home/oliviay/firefox20
oliviay-2.desktop% ls -l /usr/bin/firefox*
         lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot           24 Feb 12 16:10 /usr/bin/firefox -> /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
         lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot           28 Feb 12 15:05 /usr/bin/firefox-bin -> /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin

  5. Unfortunenately, running the following command still gives me error.And so does the tests themselves.
I have verified that libnss3.so exists at /usr/lib


oliviay-2.desktop% ldd /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin|grep libnss3.so
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.9.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin)
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.11.1' not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin)
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.9.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin)
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin)
        libnss3.so => /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0x00646000)

When trying to launch the tests using command line, I have the following error:


oliviay-2.desktop% java -cp . NewTest
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/thoughtworks/selenium/DefaultSelenium
        at NewTest.init(NewTest.java:9)
        at NewTest.main(NewTest.java:42)

Any idea how can I get it work, through either Eclipse or command line?  Thanks a lot.
