After building evince gedit no longer runs.
 

Hi

I have had gedit running for some time on lfs. But since I have built Evince-3.14.1 and its dependencies it no longer runs. Entering $ gedit in a terminal gives me the following error:

Any help would be appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be a direct dependency for Evince in gedit that I can see, could it be a plugin is misbehaving?
Been a while since I used gnome and gedit but you should be able to disable the plugins for gedit.

That looks like a problem with glib. Did you rebuild or reinstall glib anytime after gedit?

That glib warning is quite common and rarely causes a segfault I don't think the problem is there.

Which version of GTK+ was gedit built against? 2.x or 3x?

Must be gtk3 as gtk2 doesn't use css themeing

Thanks for your input on this folks!

Because of this problem I rebuilt gedit a couple of days ago but still the same error so no I have not re-built glib since
then.

gedit was built against gtk+-3.12.2

As yet I have not been able to find a way to do this.

Install dconf to get rid of the gsettings backend warning.

Run the following commands to regenerate the databases that may be corrupted and cause segfaults:

gio-querymodules /usr/lib/gio/modules
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/hicolor
update-desktop-database
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

If that fails, install strace and strace gedit.

Thanks for that I am not on that box at the moment I will post as soon as I have tried this.

So have carried out the above with no success. I have now used strace gedit see: http://pastebin.com/u7AAfxWN

I have spent quite a bit of time on this but really have no idea where to look. Help would be appreciated.

Recently i tried mousepad 0.4 and i was not able to save preferences, i had a console message like "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications."
Someone said me "if you use the (default) GSettings backend it requires DBus/DConf, if you want to use plain text file config, there's a `configure --enable-keyfile-backend` option or something ... and GSettings requires a `make install` because it has to put the settings schemas somewhere it knows (unless you tweak environment variables)"
I solved after building dconf.

Thanks for that, I have tried what you suggested but it has made no difference. I could not get '--enable-keyfile-backend' to run with ./configure. I looked at the configure --help options but could find nothing similar.
