Comment 1 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 21:44:14 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Basil Eric Rabi 2021-03-27 03:58:56 UTC
There seems to be a packaging patch for debian (https://salsa.debian.org/debichem-team/gnome-chemistry-utils/-/commit/694931319167f1e9317a3791281491610993b60b) to prevent crashing.

Comment 3 Julian Sikorski 2021-03-27 08:35:01 UTC
All this patch does is setting GDK_BACKEND=x11 before launching. Could you please test if it works for you? I was not having much success.

Comment 4 Basil Eric Rabi 2021-03-27 08:59:59 UTC
Yes. Running `GDK_BACKEND=x11 gcrystal` and `GDK_BACKEND=x11 gchem3d` in the terminal works for me.

Comment 6 Basil Eric Rabi 2022-05-13 00:40:52 UTC
Still an issue in f36 and the workaround fails now. Error now is weird:

$ gcrystal
gcrystal: error while loading shared libraries: libgcu-0.14.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ gchem3d
gchem3d: error while loading shared libraries: libgcugtk-0.14.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


However, those files exist:

# locate libgcu-0.14.so.0
/usr/lib64/gchemutils/libgcu-0.14.so.0
/usr/lib64/gchemutils/libgcu-0.14.so.0.14.17

# locate libgcugtk-0.14.so.0
/usr/lib64/gchemutils/libgcugtk-0.14.so.0
/usr/lib64/gchemutils/libgcugtk-0.14.so.0.14.17

Comment 7 Julian Sikorski 2022-05-13 15:18:19 UTC
I guess this commit is to blame:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-chemistry-utils/c/1cf90dfaeb67842320b245d55619b587f15702de
It should start if you use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Looks like the GDK fix isn't in the commit even though it is mentioned in the changelog.
