From: Jonathan H N Chin on 6 Apr 2006 10:37 On Solaris 10 (3/05 or 1/06), when I call programs like ggv from a terminal I see messages like: | (ggv:7741): Gtk-WARNING **: ld.so.1: ggv: fatal: relocation error: | file /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: symbol FT_Get_BDF_Property: | referenced symbol not found Despite the word "fatal", the program is not obviously affected. The only places the string "FT_Get_BDF_Property" occurs on the machine is in the files: /usr/lib/sparcv9/libfontconfig.so.1 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 /usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9/libfreetype.so.6 I have searched sunsolve and the web, but have not found any references to what is causing this nor a fix (at least none that seem applicable). I find it hard to believe that I am the only person seeing the messages. Any clues? -jonathan -- Jonathan H N Chin, 2 dan | deputy computer | Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK <jc254(a)newton.cam.ac.uk> | systems mangler | tel/fax: +44 1223 767091/330508 "respondeo etsi mutabor" --Rosenstock-Huessy

However, with that clue I see that SUNWfreetype2 comes with the OS but installing StarOffice 8 has caused SUNWfreetype2.2 to be added: $ ldd /usr/bin/ggv | grep freetype libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/sfw/lib/libfreetype.so.6 $ grep libfreetype.so /var/sadm/install/contents /usr/sfw/lib/libfreetype.so=libfreetype.so.6 s none SUNWfreetype2 SUNWfreetype2.2 /usr/sfw/lib/libfreetype.so.6 f none 0755 root bin 469532 27281 1041903663 SUNWfreetype2 SUNWfreetype2.2 /usr/sfw/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.1=libfreetype.so.6 s none SUNWfreetype2.2 /usr/sfw/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.7=libfreetype.so.6 s none SUNWfreetype2 /usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9/libfreetype.so=libfreetype.so.6 s none SUNWfreetype2 /usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9/libfreetype.so.6 f none 0755 root bin 924096 18399 1117036060 SUNWfreetype2 /usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9/libfreetype.so.6.3.7=libfreetype.so.6 s none SUNWfreetype2 Perhaps that is the culprit.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that despite the name, 2.2 is older than 2. It appears to be safe to remove it (and reinstall 2). -jonathan -- Jonathan H N Chin, 2 dan | deputy computer | Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK <jc254(a)newton.cam.ac.uk> | systems mangler | tel/fax: +44 1223 767091/330508 "respondeo etsi mutabor" --Rosenstock-Huessy |
