Problems with gtk in FC2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After upgrading from Fedora Core 1 to Fedore Core 2, I am unable to run
any program which uses gtk, receiving the following error message:

<app>: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0:
undefined symbol: g_type_class_add_private

In looking online, I found a few forum postings which mentioned the error.
Sometimes it was due to having an old gtk version (or a related library)
installed at the same time as a newer one. In my case, I did not find an
old library and all of my packages seemed to be up to date.

I used rpm to remove gtk+, gtk+-devel, gtk2, gtk2-devel, libgnome, pango,
pango-devel, glib, glib-devel, glib2, glib2-devel, atk, atk-devel, and
nautilus, and then used yum to install them, which gave me the output:

Installed:  pango 1.4.0-2.i386 glib-devel 1:1.2.10-12.1.1.i386 nautilus
2.6.0-4.i386 pango-devel 1.4.0-2.i386 gtk2 2.4.0-1.i386 glib2 2.4.0-1.i386
gtk+ 1:1.2.10-29.1.1.i386 glib2-devel 2.4.0-1.i386 libgnome 2.6.0-3.i386
atk-devel 1.6.0-1.i386 gtk+-devel 1:1.2.10-29.1.1.i386 glib
1:1.2.10-12.1.1.i386 gtk2-devel 2.4.0-1.i386 atk 1.6.0-1.i386

All of these seem to be up to date, or at least more up to date than the
files which were causing problems in the forum post I found
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177883).

I have asked about this a few times in #fedora on freenode, but no one has
been able to come up with a solution. Someone suggested that I might have
conflicting repositories, but after looking at them decided that they
should not conflict. I am currently using:

Server: Fedora Linux 2 - i386 - core
Server: Fedora Core 2 -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Fedora Linux (stable) for Fedora Core 2 -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Fedora Core 2 updates -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Fedora Linux 2 - i386 - freshrpms
Server: Fedora Linux 2 - i386 - updates

This problem began to occur immediately after upgrading from Fedora Core 1
to Fedora Core 2, using the four i386 isos. So, the idea of conflicting
old versions causing problems does make sense - but I can't find anything
that should cause a problem. If anyone has any suggestions, or needs
additional information, please contact me.
