Description Jari S 2011-08-31 13:22:14 CEST

Description of problem:
Inkscape does not start if glib has been updated to 2.29.18 since there is missing symbols "inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libgiomm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: g_time_zone_monitor_get_type". Inskscape just shows the problem, it is not the actual source of the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lib64glib2.0_0-2.29.18-1.mga2
lib64glibmm2.4_1-2.29.10-2.mga2


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to lib64glib2.0_0-2.29.18-1.mga2
2. Start inkscape from command line
3. See the resulting missing symbol message

Information of the problem can be found at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2011-August/msg09009.html. The source of the problem is that "TimeZoneMonitor" has been removed in glib (http://osdir.com/ml/commits.gnome/2011-08/msg05626.html) causing missing symbol message. The situation is fixed in "TimeZoneMonitor: Remove as was done in glib." patch for glibmm version 2.29.12 available from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glibmm/2.29/. Inkscape starts without warning after installing the new version.
