Hi all. After an update of KDE 4.1.2 on openSuse 10.3 last week Inkscape stopped working. I've tried it under GNOME and KDE 3.5. 7 as well as 4.1.2 with the same result. Running strace inkscape gives the following (trimmed to include only the beginning and the relevant parts at the end)... execve("/usr/bin/inkscape", ["inkscape"], [/* 92 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8833000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=193867, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 193867, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0) = 0xb7ee3000 close(5) = 0 [...snip...] open("/usr/lib/libXau.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 5 read(5, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\240\n\0\0004\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=9984, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 12424, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 5, 0) = 0xb6893000 fadvise64(5, 0, 12424, POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) = 0 mmap2(0xb6895000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 5, 0x1) = 0xb6895000 close(5) = 0 open("/lib/libnsl.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 5 read(5, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\2601\0\0004\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=81088, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 92136, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 5, 0) = 0xb687c000 fadvise64(5, 0, 92136, POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) = 0 mmap2(0xb688f000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 5, 0x12) = 0xb688f000 mmap2(0xb6891000, 6120, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6891000 close(5) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb687b000 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb687a000 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6879000 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6878000 set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0xb68786d0, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 mprotect(0xb68d9000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb69ac000, 28672, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb6b96000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb6cb1000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb6ce1000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb6e6d000, 24576, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb6eb9000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7002000, 28672, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7212000, 8192, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb723a000, 28672, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb72e7000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7575000, 90112, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7693000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7717000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7a84000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7af3000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7b1c000, 28672, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7b5a000, 45056, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7bac000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7e94000, 294912, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0x8815000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 munmap(0xb7ee3000, 193867) = 0 set_tid_address(0xb6878718) = 21909 set_robust_list(0xb6878720, 0xc) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGRTMIN, {0xb6ec2330, [], SA_SIGINFO}, NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGRT_1, {0xb6ec23b0, [], SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO}, NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [RTMIN RT_1], NULL, 8) = 0 getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, {rlim_cur=8192*1024, rlim_max=RLIM_INFINITY}) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="mako", ...}) = 0 futex(0xb6cb6674, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0 futex(0xb6cbb700, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8833000 brk(0x8854000) = 0x8854000 writev(2, [{"inkscape", 8}, {": ", 2}, {"symbol lookup error", 19}, {": ", 2}, {"inkscape", 8}, {": ", 2}, {"undefined symbol: g_dpgettext", 29}, {"", 0}, {"", 0}, {"\n", 1}], 10) = 71 exit_group(127) = ? Is this (as I suspect) due a library incompatibility introduced by installing 4.1.2 or is it a genuine bug? If the former, I'll have to live with it (unless I can somehow reinstall the appropriate library without killing 4.1.2). Incidentally, on openSuse 11.0/KDE 4.1.2 Inkscape runs fine so I suspect it is something to do with installing 4.1.2 on 10.3. Any ideas?
