For me as well.

[Gerhard Zlabinger (gerhard-zlabinger)]

Same here, using the proprietary fglrx driver.

[Aurelien Naldi (aurelien.naldi)]

It is not a driver issue: the exception is a "System.DllNotFoundException" probably a missing lib, but I could not found any kind of "libgl-cil" or "libgtkglext1-cil" :/
Note: happens to me on PPC with the ati Xorg driver.
f-spot 0.31 or 0.32 introduces a new OpenGL view, the ubuntu package have probably not been updated for it. Either a depend is missing or some files have not been added to the package.

[Aurelien Naldi (aurelien.naldi)]

Oups, I should have read the upstream bug first.
adding <dllmap dll="GL" target="/usr/lib/libGL.so.1"/> to /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe.config solved it for me.

[Gerhard Zlabinger (gerhard-zlabinger)]

Yep, adding the the line solves the problem for me as well.

[Andrea Catalucci (andrea.catalucci)]

ok I solved it too. tnx Aurelien.

[Michaël Van Dorpe (michael-vandorpe)]

Same for me: bug is still there, but adding the line solves the problem.

[John Carr (johncarr)]

Same for me; bug is there feisty / f-spot 0.32. Adding that line fixes problem.

[jens_acamedia (commercial-acamedia)]

a much better fix (taken from the same upstream bug report ) is to do

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

this fixed the issue for me on feisty. and its better to avoid editing files manually if possible.

[mafix (mafix)]

same hear...

installing the package libgl1-mesa-dev solves the problem too..

[Alexander Jones (alex-weej)]

Also experiencing this problem, and the libgl1-mesa-dev package does indeed fix it.

[Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch)]

This is a problem with an incorrect dllmap set in f-spot, which will be fixed in 0.3.3 (should be uploaded within a day or two)

[Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch)]

 f-spot (0.3.3-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release
     - Fix the insensitive editors problem.
   * Add libgl1-mesa-dev | libgl-dev to Build-Depends to be able to load
     libGL.so.1 at run time (LP: #81578)
   * Disable scrollkeeper usage in debian/ules

[Loe Spee (lgespee)]

I had this problem on Edgy with a backported F-Spot (v0.3.2).
#apt-get install nvidia-glx-dev
did the trick for me.

[Pascal de Bruijn (pmjdebruijn)]

This issue occurs because of the late binding in Mono. This in itself is a feature not a bug. Mono needs the -dev package/libraries to link at runtime. However the f-spot.exe.config file makes runtime linking without the -dev files possible, but it seems they forgot to define it for this release.

In the long run the f-spot.exe.config file should be fixed in the package.

However, in the short run user should just install the -dev package of your GLX provider be it nvidia, ati or mesa. Modifying a file which was installed with a package isn't a good solution and may cause issues when upgrading.

This is already fixed in 0.3.3.
