both glabels and abiword look for glade files in a wrong place, there seem to be some errors in the path. installed versions: * app-office/abiword Latest version available: 2.0.2 Latest version installed: 2.0.2 * app-misc/glabels Latest version available: 1.93.2 Latest version installed: 1.93.2 2 versions of libglade are installed: gnome-base/libglade-0.17-r6 gnome-base/libglade-2.0.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: for glabels: 1. start glabels (glabels:11405): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file '/var/tmp/portage/glabels-1.93.2/image//usr/share/glabels/glade/object-editor.glade' abiword: 1. start abword-2.0 2.

This is really strange. Regarding gLabels, I can't reproduce the problem, and I can't think of any reason why this could be happening, other than an obscure bug affecting your system. It seems like the macro GLABELS_GLADE_DIR is defined incorrectly, but that shouldn't be the case, since portage's standard econf() function specifies --datadir=/usr/share, therefore, -DGLABELS_GLADE_DIR=\""$(datadir)/glabels/glade/"\" from src/Makefile.in, should set the macro correcty. It does seem to work for me: $ strings /usr/bin/glabels | grep "glabels/glade" /usr/share/glabels/glade/prefs-dialog.glade /usr/share/glabels/glade/object-editor.glade /usr/share/glabels/glade/template-designer.glade Please attach a full log from the emerge process, so could look further into this. As a side note, in the future, you might want to open different bug reports in these situations, so we could track issues from different packages (glabels and abiword in this case) separately. Thanks.
no word so far and i actually do not think this is a reproducable case, so closing.
Sorry for not answering earlier, the problem seems to have resolved itself after reemering gnome, abiword, glabels and probably some other things. a similar problem (paths pointing to /var/tmp/portage) appeared also with some other library (can't remember which since i didn't write it down and it dissapeared mysteriously after reemerging, too). Thanks for your time.
