Bug 20809 – Phoenix-bin crashes on start up with an error that it cannot load libgtk1.2.0.so.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stuart Still 2003-05-11 15:18:45 UTC]

With "gtk2" in the USE flags, phoenix-bin installs gtk2.2.0, however, it won't
run, giving an error about the lack of libgtk1.2.0.so.0.  Emerging gtk1.2.0
explicitly solves the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge phoenix-bin when gtk1.2.0 is not installed.
2. Run phoenix-bin

Actual Results:  
Error: libgtk1.2.0.so.0 is missing

Expected Results:  
Phoenix web browser should have appeared on screen.

I suspect this should be changed:

RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/lib-compat-1.0-r2
        ( gtk2? >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.8 :
                        =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )
         virtual/x11
         !net-www/phoenix-cvs"


To read:

RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/lib-compat-1.0-r2
         =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* 
         virtual/x11
         !net-www/phoenix-cvs"

Hi Stuart.

Thanks for spotting this!
Fixed. Please test.
Please note, phoenix-bin has been moved to install under /opt, as it should have from the beginning.

George,

To test, I unmerged gtk+, which removed gtk+-2.0.8-r1 and gtk+-1.2.0-r8.  Then, with my USE flags set to USE="gtk2 -gtk" I did 'emerge phoenix-bin'.  That emerged gtk+-2.2.1-r1, and then phoenix-bin.  The end result was that gtk+-2.2.1-r1 was installed, and no version og gtk+-1 was installed.  Phoenix therefore couldn't start, as it is compiled against gtk+-1.2

The RDEPEND still lists:
( gtk2? >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.8 :
                        =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )

So, it seems that if gtk2 is in USE flags, then it depends upon gtk+-2.0.8, when it should be depending upon gtk+-1.2.  Therefore, I think it should be:

RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/lib-compat-1.0-r2
         =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* 
         virtual/x11
         !net-www/phoenix-cvs"

Hopefully, I did all that testing with the correct ebuild :)

Hi Stuart.

Oops, sorry. looks like my fix to DEPEND, which I did on all versions got undone by further fixups to plugin handling in the -r1 (the version in stable is Ok from what I see).
Added the fix back, Please test.

George

PS
Could you please reopen the bug if you report any trouble and the bug is in TEST-REQUEST? This makes my searching for the bug a bit easier ;).

Thats it sorted now.  Sorry for not reopening the bug, not really too familiar with bugzilla :)

Anyway, hopefully it will all be in vane, cause firebird 0.6 is on its way real soon according to the firebird homepage.  I hope you gentoo devs have got a shiny new mozilla-firebird ebuild on the way :)
