Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-0
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 calls a function called gdk_font_from_description_for_display() which is supposed to be in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0, but that function is deprecated according to GDK documentation (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk- Fonts.html#id2638107) Instead, libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 defines a function Gdk_font_from_description_for_display() which is in essence the same, but with an uppercase first character. I stumbled across this problem when trying to run a python program with GTK bindings, and I think this is the easiest way to reproduce it too: ---------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import egg.trayicon if __name__ == "__main__": print "hello world" ---------------- Running this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ ./test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test.py", line 2, in ? import egg.trayicon ImportError: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdk_font_from_description_for_display [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ I solved the problem by using LD_PRELOAD and just mapping the function called in libgtk-x11 to the one defined in libgdk-x11. It would probably be best to fix the package permanently though... I run Ubuntu Edgy and upgraded all packages. ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.6-0ubuntu3.1 The GTK+ graphical user interface library kind regards, -- Steven ** Affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- libgtk2's library libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 calls undefined symbol gdk_font_from_description_for_display https://launchpad.net/bugs/99932 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
