Glade whines about a lack of libgail. What it needs libgail for I have no idea. sfullenwider@aristotle /usr/bin $ ./glade-2 Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": libgail.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/sfullenwider/.glade2" Installing gail relieved the problem. However this forced the installation of 8 (for me) additional packages. I am unaware if there is a way to compile glade without requiring gail. If there is, perhaps a CFLAG would be in order. sfullenwider@aristotle /usr/bin $ ./glade-2 GTK Accessibility Module initialized I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/sfullenwider/.glade2"
Does glade actually function properly if you do not have gail installed? gail is needed for accessibility support.
It seems to run fine. I don't see any weird behavior at all.
Could you please provide the output of gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility
sfullenwider@aristotle ~ $ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility false
Since its functional, and the warnings arent serious, I think Im going to let this stay as is. Glade-3 is better in every way anyways :-).
I would like to reopen this bug, cause I'm having a similar problem. This time it does stop glade from running. I was using glade-2 on friday, then I tried to use it on saturday and I got this error: $ glade-2 Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail-gnome": libgail-gnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory GTK Accessibility Module initialized `revdep-rebuild --library libgail-gnome.so` said "There are no dynamic links to libgail-gnome.so...", so I installed libgail-gnome anyway. Now glade just does this: $ glade-2 GTK Accessibility Module initialized and sits there. No windows, no cpu usage, nothing! It turns out I had recompiled poppler-bindings on Saturday (didn't change the version). I recompiled poppler-bindings before I compiled libgail-gnome, and got the "do nothing" behaviour above. I recompiled poppler-bindings again _after_ installing libgail-gnome, and now glade-2 works as usual. So it appears libgail-gnome is a dependancy for some reason. Yes I would use glade-3 but this is an old project I'm maintaining :) So can this bug be reopened and libgail-gnome made a dependency? thanks.
