After upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 glom crshes

[mune]

Binary package hint: glom

I happily worked on glom with Ubuntu 7.04 until when i upgraded to 7.10M; since then it crashes when it starts and on console it says:
[code]$ glom
glom: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomecanvasmm-2.6.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[/code]

Some info about my system
[code]$ uname -a
Linux lello 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[/code]

Maybe the glom package should depend on libgnomecanvasmm-2.6-1c2a, though Glom really shouldn't need it. Maybe a later version of glom 1.6.x would fix that problem.

I am also surprised that I can't reproduce this here, though I also don't have libgnomecanvasmm-2.6-1c2a installed.

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

Glom 1.6.4 certainly doesn't depend on libgnomecanvas, and has other essential fixes. It really should be packaged.

The distro (ubuntu 7.10) installs glom
~$ glom --version
1.4.4

I don't know how but now it is *started working again*: now I have the
problem that I have modified the DB with MS Access in win via pgsqlODBC
and glom crash on a table: I don't see any solutions, as the old db
backup makes glom working with all the tables, but the php application
complains (maybe I did a modification to that table with phpPgSQL).

No, Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) definitely has 1.6.0. I don't know why you seem to have 1.4.4. Maybe you are not really using 7.10, or an upgrade failed somehow. Or maybe you installed Glom separately somehow. "which glom" should tell you if you are running from /usr/bin

One bug per bug report, please. But Glom cannot deal with structural changes that you make outside of Glom. It should be able to deal with simple changes to data (such as adding a row). If that's all you've done then I would like to see a backtrace with the latest version.

mune@lello:~$ which glom
/usr/local/bin/glom
mune@lello:~$ which /usr/bin/glom
/usr/bin/glom
mune@lello:~$ /usr/bin/glom --version
1.6.0

You was right, sorry

Just to have it is enough.
Let me put it this way: today is going to be a learning experience.

But it still doesn't work.

To be safe I removed the packages libgda3-postgres and glom.
Then I reinstalled both.

Weird enough I receive a "not enough memory" error.

mune@lello:~$ sudo apt-get install libgda3-postgres

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't understand way, maybe it can help this output

I restarted my box and installed
glom and libgda3-postgres
(there should has been a memory overload problem)

But when I launch glom I get:
mune@lello:~$ glom
glom: symbol lookup error: glom: undefined symbol:
_ZN4Glom14ConnectionPool51check_postgres_gda_client_is_available_with_warningEv

Sorry, but I think something is seriously wrong with your Ubuntu installation, and I'm not expert enough about apt-get to help fix it. I don't think it's a Glom error.

Don't worry that issue is solved: I overloaded system, I've been able to
reinstall the packages, but I get
mune@lello:~$ glom
glom: symbol lookup error: glom: undefined symbol:
_ZN4Glom14ConnectionPool51check_postgres_gda_client_is_available_with_warningEv

You are not dead yet. But watch for further reports.

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

Closing because I don't think this is a Glom problem and there's not much I can do about it.
