This seems to be due to many of the libraries that are part of XFree86 not being linked to their dependant libs at build time. This forces application authors to manually link to all of those dependant libs, which is very broken. It's odd that these problems have never turned up before, because _many_ libraries have this same problem. I fixed a similar problem in libXfont a couple weeks ago, but I've now fixed a whackload of them including libXcursor. Not sure if I caught them all yet or not though. I'll update the report when new packages are available to test. Thanks. Are you using prelink? I wasn't, but I have since installed it and the problem persists:
[root@localhost jwilliams]# rpm -ihv Data/RPMS/RedHat/prelink-0.2.0-18.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:prelink ########################################### [100%]
[root@localhost jwilliams]# up2date
/usr/bin/python: relocation error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1: undefined
symbol: XRenderCreateAnimCursor
[root@localhost jwilliams]#
Actually, my question was upon an assumption that prelinking might be part of the problem being visible all of a sudden to people. I wasn't suggesting that you install or use prelink. ;o) We are unable to reproduce this problem on Red Hat Linux 9, Fedora Core 1, or Fedora Core 2. Setting status to "WORKSFORME". If the problem recurs with Fedora Core 2, please reopen and provide a status update. Thanks. |
