Description Luke Hutchison 2006-01-19 21:26:44 UTC
I just updated to the latest FC5-devel RPMs, including:

# rpm -q evolution gnome-panel
evolution-2.5.4-9
gnome-panel-2.13.5-1

Both Evolution and the panel apps exhibit an error starting up, because the
directory "/usr/$(LIB)/..." cannot be found:

# evolution

Apparently the variable $(LIB) is not defined and/or not being expanded by
g_module_open.

The following fixes the problem, although it is a big ugly hack:

# ln -s /usr/lib /usr/\$\(LIB\)

Sorry, the stuff after the 3 blank lines above are my additional comments, not
part of the output from Evolution.


Comment 2 Rahul Sundaram 2006-02-20 11:32:05 UTC

These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released
after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum
update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being
released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system
.Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of
this issue. Thanks

Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2006-12-31 02:36:54 UTC
Is this problem still present in Fedora Core 6?  I don't see any of these
warnings myself.

Comment 5 Luke Hutchison 2007-01-01 02:24:45 UTC
I haven't seen this recently.  Closing, thanks!
