symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0

[perfran]

When launching any gtk application I get the following error message :

example when launching gedit
gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_has_current_point

or gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefinedsymbol: cairo_has_current_point

At startup gdm restarts endlessly and gnome does not start when I use kdm or startx
Using latest intrepid ibex release (alpha-3 up-to-date)
I don't know which package is concerned.

thank you for your bug report, could you run "ldd /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0" and attach that to the bug? it's likely due to some lib you installed in /usr/local which take over the ubuntu version

[perfran (perfran)]

I only installed Ubuntu Intrepid alpha 3 and I updated it. The first boot everything seemed to work well, gnome started normally and the next boot That problem started. Impossible to log into gnome: every gtk application just can't start.

[perfran (perfran)]

I just realized that I had indeed installed manually another lib. I removed it and it seems to work again. I should not have reported a bug. It can be closed or deleted.

exactly same prolem here, after an update from gutsy to intrepid.

gedit work, but gnome-terminal/epiphany/gajim doesn't work with the same message.

I confirm solution of duplicate bug :
$ sudo rm /usr/local/lib* -R

but why this problem apears ?

[Julien Negros (djiock)]

That happened to me too and a couple of guys from the french community. But I can confirm the solution too, thanks !

[mercutio22 (macabro22)]

I can't believe I found a solution to my problem!!! Many thanks!

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

Closing since this was the result of bad local libraries.
