[gutsy] inkscape doesn't start

[Duncan Lithgow]

Ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy. Updated the 26th of June.

Starting on the command line gives:
duncan@ubuntu:~$ inkscape
inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangomm-1.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib13wrap_registerEjPFPNS_10ObjectBaseEP8_GObjectE
duncan@ubuntu:~$

The bug seems to happen if you want to compile inkscape from sources as well (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/122299/comments/4)
(Removed apport from the bug title, since it is misleading somehow)

Changed package to Inkscape -> I'm able to confirm this as well, attached backtrace log from Inkscape and included the output of running from command line.

Justin

Duncan,
Thanks again for your report, would you be able to provide a backtrace ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace ) of the inkscape failure to start as well?

Regards,
Justin

It is not possible to compile inkscape with latest gtkmm any more :-(. The above error is caused by the dynamic linking error with the new gtkmm library.
Relevant pbuilder log follows:
