When installed, x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.5 makes inkscape/dia/acroread crash every launch. There is a ***glibc*** erreur. A gdb show that gtk-engines-smooth is involved, but gtk2_engine_smooth is not installed in my system. By uninstalling x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.5 the previous progs work correctly, but without the gnome themes. # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -ffast-math" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -ffast-math" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="fr" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X aac acpi alsa apm audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl dvd dvdread eds emboss encode exif expat fam ffmpeg foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal idn imlib java jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww mad matroska mikmod mmap mmmext mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline rtc samba sdl spell sse ssl svg tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis wifi win32codecs x264 xml2 xv xvid zlib linguas_fr userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
are you still having this problem? Have you tried a revdep-rebuild as well?
After many search, I finally found that the problem was link with gnome's theme. I'm under kde, and use some gnome apps. If the gnome theme is not carefully choosen, the apps don't start with the ***glibc**** error. I chose another theme, and the problem disapear. Mayby some check to add to be sure that the gnome theme is correctly set under kde ? The problem is solved for me.
Selecting a different theme is just a work-around, if there is in fact a bug in one of the gtk engines. If you want to help us find the problem, please try installing the latest stable version of gtk-engines, and if the problem persists, provide the backtrace and tell us which Gtk+ theme were you using at the time. Thanks.
