After updating Evolution 1.4.5 to 1.4.6, it fails to start up, giving the following message: $ evolution-1.4 (evolution-1.4:28545): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `ESplash' can't be set after construction evolution-1.4: relocation error: /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/components/libevolution-addressbook.so: undefined symbol: e_book_get_config_database $ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge evolution 1.4.6 2. launch it 3. Actual Results: n/a Expected Results: n/a Using gnome 2.6_rc3, did same before updating to this (running 2.5 from BMG)
there seems to be a problem with your merge, if you use bmg ebuilds, we can't provide any support because you've corrupted your system. huggins eclass # ldd /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/components/libevolution-addressbook.so | grep ebook libebook.so.0 => /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/libebook.so.0 (0x4062d000) huggins eclass # readelf -s /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/libebook.so.0 | grep e_book_get_config 174: 00013999 50 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 e_book_get_config_databas the symbol should be there, for both 1.4.5 and 1.4.6.
If you've been playing with bmg, make sure you don't still have evolution-data-server installed. I was getting the same exact bug, and when depclean showed evolution-data-server as still being installed, I uninstalled it, then reemerged evolution-1.4.6 and everything works fine now.
