Did an upgrade (NOT an install from scratch) to 9.3. Then started having problems trying to run Gnome-related stuff.
Found the explanation. Last year, one way or another, I ended up with a Gtk library in /usr/local/lib. 9.3 put that same library into /opt/gnome/lib. But the upgrade hadn't cleaned up the previous /usr/local/lib.
That's what happens if you don't use rpm to install packages. The system has no way of knowing that an old version of the lib is floating around. I *still*
haven't figured out why on my 9.3 system the Gnome-related stuff was looking for that Gtk library first in /usr/local/lib and not first in /opt/gnome/lib.
Because /usr/local/lib comes before /opt/gnome/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf? Regards, -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk
