phoebus@enchantrix ~ $ nicotine Nicotine supports "psyco", an inline optimizer for python code, you can get it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/psyco/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/nicotine", line 142, in ? result = checkenv() File "/usr/bin/nicotine", line 68, in checkenv import gtk File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 45, in ? from _gtk import * File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cairo/__init__.py", line 1, in ? from _cairo import * ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined symbol: cairo_pdf_surface_set_dpi This happened after upgrading to cairo 1.2.0. I know this package is masked for a good reason, but it's true that someday cairo 1.2 will replace cairo 1.0.
Gathering more info about the issue. Nicotine can't start because it's relying on a old version of pycairo (1.0.2) when cairo 1.2.0 is installed. Please bump pycairo to 1.2.0. It's released, on www.cairographics.org
pycairo bump to 1.2.0 (in package.mask) should fix this.
