FYI:

The latest current (as of 12-21-2004) delivers gtk 2.2.6. After upgrading, any gtk app (Thunderbird, Firefox 1.0, konquerer) fail to load, with this error:

I rolled back to 2.2.4, in slackware 10.0, and all is well. I use swaret, and made sure all dependencies were up to date.

Same problem here, also I am unable to extract tarballs now. Anyone else having this problem?

Yep, me too... Also failed to compile programs that need gtk.

Check the change logs, there was a bug-fix update.
My box works fine and I'm up-to date (as of 12-22)

Thanks to /i. for pointing that out!

HTH

hmmm... you should upgrade ( *manually*, i reckon swaret does NOT handle this "dependency" ) not only gtk+2,but also atk, pango and glib2 ( am i forgetting something ?!... dont think so... ) .... use "swaret --list -u" , if you like, to have a list of available upgrades... that way the gtk+2 applications ( should ) run ok.

I'm still having the same problem. I have tried rolling back GTK, removing all GTK packages and reinstalling, nothing will work. I still cannot use any GTK application (symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_option_context_new) nor can I untar anything (bus error).

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks

Well, compiling ATK from source fixed firefox. The Gimp still doesn't work. I am going to compile the rest of the GTK packages, I imagine this will fix this.


Still working on the tar problem.

I stay pretty up-to-date with the slackware-current branch and was also having this problem after the [Tue Dec 21 19:07:25 PST 2004] update. The problem turned out to be related to the fact that I build KDE via Konstruct instead of using the Slackware packages. Konstruct appears to build it's own version of glib2 and I have "/opt/kde3.3/lib" before "/usr/lib" in my /etc/ld.so.conf, so apps end up using the KDE version of glib2 instead of the Slackware version. Now that I know this is happening, when I get time I'd like to figure out how to prevent Konstruct from building glib2 and just use the installed version. Any ideas?

Oh.... I forgot to mention that rebuilding KDE with the latest Konstuct (stable) fixed the problem in my case... as it now appears to build glib2-2.6.0 My guess is that others having the same problems may also have conflicting versions of glib2.

check /usr/lib and make sure all of the old gtk libs were remove -completely-.

if the linker finds an older lib first it will give you symbol problems
