I have resolved my issue: I had added a file /etc/ld.
The purpose of this file was to force loading of a vmware library: This library apparently interferes with the operation of Ubuntu in several instances.

The problem exist in other application as gnote
roll@cs5:~$ gnote
gnote: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/
Maybe there should be some fix for all these problems.

solved for me.
i Deleted into LD_LIBRARY_
and executing sudo nano /usr/bin/vmware after adding the line
export LD_LIBRARY_
now works all

Easy solution for vmware and vmware player:
The file /usr/bin/vmware is a wrapper for the binary files: Edit
/usr/bin/vmware (or /usr/bin/vmplayer) and add the line
export
LD_LIBRARY_
to the file, somewhere in the vicinity fo the line which says 'set -e'.
Save the file, and you're good to go.

Try reinstalling the library:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtkmm-2.4-1v5

I am running Ubuntu 15.10, and I have the same problem with gparted. Unfortunately, neither adding the line:
export
LD_LIBRARY_
to /usr/bin/vmplayer, nor reinstalling libgtkmm-2.4.1v5 has solved the problem.

A variant of trinkity's solution finally worked for me:
I deleted LD_LIBRARY_
and then executed the command $ sudo ldconfig
This worked, and VMware Player still seems to work as well.
I had tried altering the contents of that file before, but I may not have reconfigured ld before checking, and that may have been the problem.
