audio-recorder: symbol lookup error: audio-recorder: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

[Rootbrian]

I have installed the gstreamer PPA to resolve the bug I was getting earlier (previous bug report visible as there's only 10 listed), and this is the error i'm getting now:

audio-recorder: symbol lookup error: audio-recorder: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

I'm using the latest audio-recorder at 1.6.3 on linux mint 17.2 (based on ubuntu 14.04 LTS), the package installed fine regardless of which one I chose (14.04, 14.10 and 15.03), no dependency issues or outdated libraries.

Hello,
You have an old version of GLIB library.
The function g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a() was added to the gtype and glib in spring 2014.

I do not know the exact version of glib that is required.
Check the version of GLIB with:

$ ldd --version
or run:
$ for l in $(locate libc.so.6); do $l; done

I run Ubuntu 15.04 and it has GLIB version:
Ubuntu GLIBC 2.21-0ubuntu4

Notice: This is a general problem in your system. It is not particularly related to the audio-recorder.
Have you added additional PPAs for GTK3?
Have you considered to make a new, pure installation of your Mint?

I got this when I used the command. The installation of Mint is on a laptop and was freshly done.

Hello,
Looks like you have EGLIBC 2.19.
EGLIBC is mostly used by embedded systems and its development has ceased
(halted).
Ref: http://www.eglibc.org
Ref:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/372864/why-ubuntu-uses-eglibc-instead-of-glibc

All new development goes to GLIBC.

Would you please send this question to the developers of Mint or ask at
http://forums.linuxmint.com/ <http://forums.linuxmint.com/4>

I saw some ªoddª reports on the net that changing the GTK3-theme or
switching to a different desktop system (like XFCE, KDE) might help. This
has something to do with how the system draws the widgets (and theme
decorations). I do not know. I would`n bet on that!

The only window managers I happen to use are Lxde and cinnamon. I wouldn't mind using fluxbox either, I used it in the past quite regularly.
