Bug 196450 – kde-base/kcontrol-3.5.7-r1 font module crashes

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jouni Rinne 2007-10-19 19:54:07 UTC]

Some recent update has broken KDE Control Center font setting module. If I try to use it, kcontrol crashes with the following error message:

kcontrol: symbol lookup error: /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_fonts.so: undefined symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter

Recompiling kcontrol does NOT, repeat does NOT help. The rest of the Control Center seems to work fine.

[Comment 1 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-10-20 20:24:34 UTC]

Please try if this problem persists when using KDE 3.5.8.

[Comment 2 Jouni Rinne 2007-10-22 06:55:15 UTC]

Unfortunately, upgrade to 3.5.8 didn't help :( . Kcontrol still crashes on fonts.

[Comment 3 Jouni Rinne 2007-10-22 10:27:46 UTC]

I recompiled freetype, libXfont, libXft and kcontrol (again): No luck, still crashes...

[Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2007-12-27 17:11:59 UTC]

Which freetype version do you have installed? What's the output of 

`nm /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.<full-version> | grep FT_Library_SetLcdFilter`


May there some other freetype library floating around on your system? 

Freetype 2.3.0 and above provide the necessary function.

[Comment 5 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2008-02-10 01:29:19 UTC]

Please re-open this bug after providing the information Carsten asked for.
