From: Don on

Back in March, I suddenly starting having problems with the startup of
certain programs I regularly use (date around March 14). The programs I
believe all use GTK and the error message is the same. Some of the
applications are: iceape, synaptic, and geany.

Here are the results when I try running them from the command line:

don(a)kali:~$ sudo synaptic
synaptic: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined
symbol: g_malloc_n
don(a)kali:~$ iceape
/usr/lib/iceape/iceape-bin: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_malloc_n
don(a)kali:~$ geany
geany: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined
symbol: g_malloc_n
don(a)kali:~$

When looking for /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0, I find a link to:
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.0, a size 609700 file which is present in the
/usr/lib directory.

Using 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP with squeeze/sid. I do the apt-get update and
upgrade periodically.

Never a problem like this previous to mid-March or so (cannot pinpoint
date as I was out of circulation in hospital for a week late March and
just getting around to finding a solution).

Any help appreciated -- knowledgeable enough to be dangerous, so even
though I'm not a newbie, don't assume I'm an expert. I may have done
some dumb thing to cause this as I don't see anyone else having this
problem. Let me know what other information is needed.

Regards,
Don

You probably have an outdated library somewhere. Please show the output
of "ldd /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0".

The libraries in /usr/local/lib are the interesting ones.

You have a (probably old) libglib-2.0 installation in /usr/local. Move
the mentioned files there out of the way and you should be set.
