Description Michael Postmann 2005-01-24 02:28:19 UTC
I've been running xfce 4.0.6
I updated it to 4.2.0 using "emerge xfce4 xfce4extra"
After this I couldn't run xfce.
When I started xfce4 it provided the message (see attachment)
A friend of mine, which is a member of the xfce4 development group, helped me. We found out that there was an old version of libxfce4util installed in /usr/local/lib. I removed this library and all worked fine again
I remv

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge an old version of libxfce4
2. emerge the new version of xfce4
3. startxfce4

Actual Results:  
See attachment

Expected Results:  
should start xfce4

It is hard to tell what's the source of these problem as I'm using xfce4 and 
gentoo for quite a long time and it's nearly impossible to figure out where the 
library in /usr/local/lib came from.

I don't think there is a solution for this which can be done throuh modifying an 
ebuild or something. I just thought of putting it in here to help people 
experiencing the same problem....

never had anything from xfce4 place files in /usr/local on my ebuilds, maybe you have used some third party builds or something
