Package updates
I downloaded and installed a few updates from slackware.com, including gtk+2-2.8.20-i486-1.tgz, pango-1.12.4-i486-1.tgz, libglade-2.5.1-i486-1.tgz, and cairo-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz. I also found python gtk+ bindings in .rpm and installed those using rpm2tgz. Now when I try to start gvim I get an error:
Code:
bash-3.00# gvim Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe that symbol was actually supposed to be g_object_compact_control and someone just had a typo =P |
It looks like you've installed updates from current (gtk+2-2.8.20-i486-1 is the version from current) instead of from 10.2 (gtk+2-2.6.10-i486-1 is the version from 10.2 at mirror.pacific.net.au). If that's the case, you should uninstall those versions and install the version for the release you're running.

Okay, I reverted back to gtk+2-2.6.10-i486-1.tgz, and uninstalled 2.8.20. Now there's a different error:
Code:
gvim: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_intern_static string Code:
gvim: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 is in the -current version of pango, but not the 10.2 version. Which version of gvim are you running? Could that also be from -current?

Hey, that was it! I had vim-gvim installed from slackware -current. Unloading vim-gvim and reinstalling xvim from slackware 10.2 did the trick. Thanks for helping me! I take it that it's a risky business to run with packages from slackware-current, so maybe I'll just stick to 10.2 until 11.0 comes out.

Mixing packages from slackware-current with your Slackware 10.2 system is more than risky - it is a sure road to non-working programs, as you already experienced. Eric |
