Re: [solved] unable to run gcalctool after GNOME (2.22.0) upgrade

I have solved it by removing package with pacman

pacman -R gcalctool

Compiling from source.
And here is my question, since gcalctool was put in /usr/local/bin/ should I make symbolic link

sudo ln /usr/local/bin/gcalctool /usr/bin/gcalctool

or add it to PATH?

Compiling it from source like that is always a bad idea!!! You should use abs to compile gcalctool!

I have removed gcalctool compiled from source. Made new with ABS but still got errors.

pacman -Sy abs
sudo vim /etc/abs/abs.conf 
abs
mkdir -p ~/abs/local/gcalctool
cd ~/abs/local/gcalctool/
cp /var/abs/extra/gnome/gcalctool/* .
makepkg -c
pacman -U gcalctool-5.22.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Hmm.  I just used ABS to compile gcalctool.  I'm not getting any errors when I run it. 

If I were you, I would build it from source, even though it's not the "official" way.  You'll lose pacman's tracking of updates, so you'll have to manually monitor them.  With the next update you can try installing with pacman and maybe gcalctool will work for you.

No I would report it on the bug tracker, because its a bug at least for you and probably affects other people.
