melkor tmp # vmware /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwareui.so.0/libvmwareui.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZN3Gtk6Widget14get_accessibleEv Tried the standard fix of updating libview... no affect (libview 0.6.1). Currently uninstalled. Vmware "works"if ran as: 'VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force vmware' but will crash when user tries to open a directory. Also tried vmware-workstation 6.0.2.59824 (current ~x86 ebuild) but had the same result. Reproducible: Always
Sorry, but severity isn't critical when the app fails to start at all - it would be if it started, ran for a while and then really crashed, possibly causing data loss. Such as it is, failing to initially load is not the same thing as crashing.
Matthew, please ensure that gtkmm has been compiled with the accessibility USE flag set (this should be tested for within the ebuild, so please let us know if it hadn't already been compiled like that). Then please recompile libview and libsexy (once gtkmm has been built with accessibility). Unfortunately, there's no way for portage to easily enforce this requirement, hence bugs like this. If that fixes your problem, then please mark this bug as fixed. If not, let us know and we'll see what error messages it's producing then, and what we can do about them... 5:)
Fix: 1. Add ACCESSIBILITY to USE flags. 2. emerge gtkmm
