Bug 174364 – media-gfx/splashutils-1.4.1 - undefined symbol: splash_cache_cleanup

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Craig Andrews 2007-04-13 03:27:59 UTC]

I get this error on startup, shutdown, or any other time an init script is run:
dlopen `/lib64/rcscripts/plugins/splash.so': /lib64/rcscripts/plugins/splash.so: undefined symbol: splash_cache_cleanup
Also, the splash screen doesn't appear.
I'm using media-gfx/splashutils-1.4.1 and sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_alpha1

Reproducible: Always

Recompile splashutils w/ LDFLAGS="" and let us know...

That worked! Could this be an LDFLAGS="--as-needed" issue?
I also recompiled with LDFLAGS="--as-needed" but the .so was already in memory, so I couldn't tell if it made a difference.

Any idea which LDFLAG caused it? I'm not trying to be a ricer here... I researched each flag, and each seems safe, and things like hash-style=both are used in Ubuntu, for example. Also, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first package with a problem.

Thanks!

The problem is indeed caused by --as-needed, which causes the baselayout plugin splash.so not to be linked with libsplash.so. This will be fixed in the next release of splashutils, for now please just compile it without --as-needed.

Fixed in 1.4.2.
