[Solved] Problem opening inkscape

hit0442 · 2015-08-29 21:24:42

After I installed inkscape, I had some problems opening it with the imagemagick and poppler libraries. After fixing those problems, now I get this message when I run 'inkscape' and I have no idea what's that.

inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

That makes me wonder if that might be related. How did you install inkscape, what were the problems and how did you fix it?

My money is on symlinking...

I installed inkscape via pacman. The problems where

inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and another one with some library in imagemagick I can't remember. The only thing I did was to install poppler and imagemagick via pacman.

By the way, I think that poppler also messed up my emacs + auctex configuration, I don't know how.

pacman -Syyu

You mean I should run 'pacman - Syyu' and reinstall all the packages? I did that before installing the packages.

Though now I realize I get something bad from 'pacman -Syyu' :

Partial upgrades are unsupported.

Fix your yaourt issue and stop truncating your output to misrepresent the commands you are actually typing.

Ok, thank you. It took me sometime to fix and update everything but that was indeed the problem.
