Uh, this is a strange bug, most likely in libgtkmm, not pavucontrol. Which version of libgtkmm do you have installed? The lines you pasted don't actually show the symbol name that is missing. Could you please paste which one it is?
Yes, it does seem to be a gtkmm bug, or some sort of dependency. The version installed on my F8 system is 2.12.0-1.fc8 Unfortunately, when I invoke pavucontrol, no symbol name is printed. I just get the line I pasted. Would you like me to look for any particular symbol in gtkmm? or anything else that might help you debug the issue? Thanks.
I ran into other issues with GNOME. I was asked to force reinstall GNOME packages as the md5sum of the installed packages was not what rpm was expecting. Fixed this issue. This is resolved. Thanks for your help
