[SOLVED] gsmartcontrol failing to start

Since the last couple of updates, gsmartcontrol fails with the following error:

gsmartcontrol: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgiomm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib17SignalProxyNormal13connect_impl_EbON4sigc9slot_baseEb

I've tried reinstalling glibmm and gsmartcontrol and even recompiling gsmartcontrol from source - no use

Surprisingly the symbol does exist in the binary, and running under sudo gives some other error....

rep ~  $ gsmartcontrol

Any clues why this is failing?

Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] gsmartcontrol failing to start

OK, I figured out why this was happening

I used strace and noticed that gsmartcontrol was loading some old glib library from /usr/lib/vmware

I got rid of vmware and then it works fine!

Re: [SOLVED] gsmartcontrol failing to start

ldd /usr/lib/libgiomm-2.4.so.1

Edit: glad you found it. That's what I was looking for with ldd.
