On 2006/12/16 I emerged the gnome-base/gail-1.9.3 package and it broke gnucash. I get this error when I run gnucash: gnucash-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgailutil.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So, I attempt to re-emerge gnucash. Fails. Unfortunately I don't have a listing of this error but it did fail during configuration when checking for the libofx library. Nonetheless, onward I go. libgailutil.so.17 does not in fact exist on my system but libgailutil.so.18 does. I find that this file is installed by the gnome-base/gail ebuild. So I decide to emerge the prior version of gail to get the *.17 version of this library. So I do the following: emerge --oneshot =gnome-base/gail-1.8.11 This does install libgailutil.so.17. Now when I run gnucash I get this error: gnucash-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgailutil.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Okay. Not what I expected. Now I re-emerge gnucash everything goes okay. But, I still get the same error. Emerge latest version of gail. Again same error. Now I emerge the older version of gail again, BUT this time I stop the emerge before it can unmerge the newer version. Now gnucash works. Finally. So is this a problem with gnucash or gail? I don't know. Does gail need to be a Slot? I don't know that either. If you need any additional info please let me know Mike
Run revdep-rebuild...
Created attachment 105050 [details] gtkhtml error
Comment on attachment 105050 [details] gtkhtml error No it doesn't work. revdep-rebuild wants to emerge these packages emerge --oneshot -pv =gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.12.2 =app-office/gnucash-2.0.2 =app-office/kmymoney2-0.8.3 and the error for gtkhtml is in the attachment
I was going to add the error when emerge gnucash with gail-1.9.3 but now that works?? It's annoying when things begin working without knowing what changed. Or when nothing changed.
Closing.
