Hi,
I am trying to bring my IT up-to-date after the install of the new OS. Besides other things I also installed evince and tried starting it on my N800. No reaction. So I went to my console and started evince from the command line. An error about an undefined symbol (see the title) in libgtk was reported.

I am using N800 with the new 4-2007.26-8 OS.
I also just did a magic.sys update in the AppManager ( I am not sure this has anything to do with the problem).
Also later I found out that Skype does not start anymore and issues the same error on the console. Skype definetly worked several days ago. Has anybody an idea how to fix this?

I did an apt-get install --reinstall of the libgtk2.0 package. The version on my N800:
/home/user # ls -l /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.10
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2404212 Jan 25 2007 /usr/lib/libgtk-x112.0.so.0.600.10
This did not resolve the problem.

Oh, I am booting from my Internal SDCard, but this should not be a problem.

Thanks.

My problem seems to be a major one. While writing the previous post my screen-connection to the tablett died. A reconnect was rejected "not enough ptys".
I tried a reboot of the IT. It hangs repeatedly after the progress bar has reached ~90%.
I can boot to my flash OK and mount the /dev/mmcblk0p2 partition. So there is hope.
But now it's time for bed .... Wonder which package wrecked my tablett ...

The reason for the boot failure seems to be:
user.log:Aug 19 12:52:11 Nokia-N800-26 DSME: Non-root process '/usr/bin/systemui' spawning too fast -> remove it

Now the libgtk error could be a reason for systemui not getting up. But why is the symbol not resolved ?
At some point in my installs following happened:

/home/user # ls -l /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 29 14:35 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 -> libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.10
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2348888 Mar 21 14:08 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.10
/home/user # ls -l /opt/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 18 23:04 /opt/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 -> libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.10
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2404212 Jan 25 2007 /opt/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.10

This was executed on my N800, booted from flash with my SD-root partition mounted on /opt.
Very annoying: the same lib version but slightly different size and date.... Where did I get the older version on my SD?
Unfortunately a simple cp flash -> SD of the libgtk did not resolve the boot problem. Also a tedious check and copy of other related files (there were lot of them with the January date) in /usr/lib/gtk2.0/ directory did not help.

I will abandon the rescue path and reinstall my SD-card anew.

In case the reason for all the trouble is the libgtk, the culprit seems to be:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/binary/

This repo carries a libgtk2.0-0_2.6.10-2.osso30_armel.deb which has the libs with the January date. This should be fixed asap. Who should be informed ?

Most probably I got this version while updating magic.sys ...

Anyone some better clues? Thanks.
