Description of problem: tried to run vmware player, it gives: GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once. aborting... Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: undefined symbol: atk_misc_instance /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so: undefined symbol: atk_misc_get_instance Looks like it's atk's fault
What version of atk do you have installed ? atk_misc_get_instance was added in atk 1.13. I've bumped the atk requirement to that version now.
atk-1.17.0-1.fc7 Still doesn't work with current rawhide.
not clear to me what is happening here. [mclasen@localhost atk-1.17.0]$ nm -D /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so | grep atk U atk_misc_get_type U atk_misc_instance [mclasen@localhost atk-1.17.0]$ nm -D /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 | grep atk_misc 0587e170 T atk_misc_get_instance 0587e190 T atk_misc_get_type 058877e0 B atk_misc_instance 0587e130 T atk_misc_threads_enter 0587e150 T atk_misc_threads_leave Certainly looks to me like libatk is providing what gail needs.
I get the same. If you think it's vmplayer's fault, please close this. I haven't got a reply from them: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=73165&tstart=0 It looks like it's vmplayer, since other gnome/gtk apps are working ok. Thanks
Thanks for that information; closing then.
