Seems ActiveTcl is not properly configured for fedora core 3. I suggest you report this directly to them. It is not a package we maintain. Daniel |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Upgrading redhat 9.0 to fc3 I discovered that my install of ActiveTcl had a version of libxml2 which hijacked all references away from the version installed by fc3. This resulted in mysterious component failures too numerous to list. The most explicit was that yum would fail with a missing symbol when loading the python interface to libxml2, hence I had to perform all updates manually. The most obvious was that Gnome session startup would end with errors, and many aspects of the Gnome desktop were broken or flakey. After upgrading the libxml2 and python interfaces, I finally ran ldd on the python interface library and solved the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.4.6.0 Mar 01, 2004 (Build 93230) into /usr/local/ActiveTcl. 2. Add /usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. 3. Watch most of fc3's xml processing fail Actual Results: Nothing, until you use something which uses libxml2, then all sorts of processes begin to fail because the ActiveTcl libxml2 doesn't provide the same API as the version installed with fc3. Expected Results: Either the installation process or the system startup should detect that a very crucial shared library dependency has been broken and needs to be fixed before fc3 will work as designed.
