Bug 53991 – ld.so.conf Needs To Reference Location of libgtkhtml

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Derek Berube 2004-06-15 09:32:06 UTC]

I initially encountered a problem after I emerged the 1.5.9.1 version of Evolution I build using the ebuild from BreakMyGentoo.net.  Basically any time I tried to open a composition window, Evolution would crash.

I pursued the issue with Ximian, http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=60041, who indicated that the /etc/ld.so.conf should include a reference to the location of the libgtkhtml shared object.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Evolution
2. Right-click on the 'New' button when looking at the "Inbox" folder.


Actual Results:  
Evolution crashes.  When running under gdb, you get the following error:

(evolution:15081): Bonobo-WARNING **: Activation exception 'g_module_open
of `/usr/lib/gtkhtml/libgnome-gtkhtml-editor-3.1.so' failed with
`libgtkhtml-3.1.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory''
/usr/bin/evolution: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/lib/evolution/1.5/components/libevolution-mail.so: undefined symbol:
e_activation_failure_dialog

Program exited with code 0177.




Expected Results:  
The evolution composer window should have been opened.

Created attachment 33320 [details]
File Created to Correct the Problem

The attached file is the file I created to add a reference to the ld.so.conf
file after being instructed to do so by someone at Ximian.  I wasn't sure if
this is something that should be done for Evolution or if it is something that
should be done as part of the gnome-extra/libgtkhtml package.

After placing the "50evolution" file in the /etc/env.d directory and then running env-update, I was able to start a composition window in Evolution.

Gentoo doesn't support ebuilds from BreakMyGentoo.

Sorry about that.  I didn't see hyperlink for the BMG Bugzilla.
