Problem with libgio-2.0.so.0 (I've broken my system)

Hi!

I have a problem with libgio-2.0 —well... I don't know where the problem really is :S

I have compiled and installed GLib 2.28, and I now I think it was a bad idea... I needed it to compile Nautilus but now my system is totally broken.

When I try to run some kind of applications I always get an error, for example:

Code:

$ gedit
gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VARIANT

or

Quote:

$ google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VARIANT

I've been looking over there and I saw similar errors, but I don't know how to fix mine. I've reinstalled GLib 2.24.1 using apt-get but now I get a similar error:

Code:

$ gedit
gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_date_time_unref

What could I do?

I leave you here the output of ldd because I've saw over there that it was useful to correct similar problems.

I'm using Linux Mint 9 with Gnome 2.30.1 and my kernel version is 2.6.32-21-generic (i686).

Thanks in advance for your time —and sorry if my English is bad.

Changing glib2 / atk / pango / cairo / gtk2 to a different version is one of the
most difficult things to do: Very little chance that later versions are compatible.

To see how many applications it is about, you can do this test :
sudo apt-get remove libglib2.0-0 ( And don't say 'yes' to execute the removal.)
> > A list of all the packages that depend on glib2 will be shown,
and that's usually 500..600 packages.

Solution : Use Mint 10 instead.

Yes, I've seen that. The most funny part is that I think I could write "yes" and I think that nothing would happen... because it says to me "Está a punto de hacer algo potencialmente dañino. Para continuar escriba la frase «Sí, ¡haga lo que le digo!»" [You'll do something potentially harmful. To continue write the sentence «Yes, do what I say!» ]

Yes... I've though that doing an upgrade could fix it... I will try it and if it doesn't work I'll simply install a fresh Linux Mint 10.

Thanks for your time.

The problem is that your distribution has put a copy of glib in /lib for low-level services to use but when you installed the newer version of glib it only copied the library to /usr/lib. Hence the problem with incompatible bits of glib.
