" (No such file or directory)"

that is fairly self explanatory
you do not have it installed , or
you installed it some place else

but the 64 bit version is not where it is expected

I found that file elsewhere (it was in a GTK2 folder) and copied it to that location, but it complained that I couldn't use the GTK2 module for GTK3. I used apt-file to search for libcanberra-gtk-module.so, and I found that the package libcanberra-gtk3-module had that file. After installing that, everything works fine.

64 bit

This is an old thread, but I'm adding info that might be of use.

You may be getting this message in 64-bit systems even though you have the lib installed. That's because you might be using a 32-bit software and it expects the lib somewhere else.

My system is an Ubuntu 14.04, but I guess it would be the same thing on your Debian:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

gtk2, gtk3

Try the following

sudo yum install libcanberra-gtk2.i686
sudo yum install libcanberra-gtk3.i686
sudo yum install libcanberra-devel.i686

in order from top to bottom

use yum or apt-get as necessary.

On Ubuntu 12.04 server 64, I had to call:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk*

In order to remove the warning: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

hello all,

i just did this on my amd debian jessie 64 bit system:-

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk*

it downloaded and installed a massive number of files
18.6MB and 197MB.

All of that just to remove a message about canberra-gtk-module!

What if anything have I gained?

For me just the following command (with su permissions) helped:
Code:
apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module
It's only 31,8 kB.

Thanks

I followed a variation on this command - which solved my very similar problem.

Thank you to the various contributors in this thread.
