evince segment fault

hftsin · 2012-05-27 02:10:10

Hi all,

When I upgrade the package poppler, poppler-glib, poppler-qt from 0.18.4-2 to 0.20.0-1, then evince crashed. According to the cmdline outputs, it prompts the fowlling hints:

(evince:4576): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: /usr/lib/libpoppler-glib.so.8: undefined symbol: cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch

(evince:4576): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Cannot load backend 'pdfdocument' since file '/usr/lib/evince/4/backends/libpdfdocument.so' cannot be read.
Segmentation fault

However, when I downgrade poppler, poppler-glib and poppler-qt to 0.18.4-2, evince works perfect.

Can anybody notice this bug?

Best,
Hanfeng

extra/poppler 0.20.0-1 [installed]
extra/poppler-glib 0.20.0-1 [installed]
extra/evince 3.4.0-1 (gnome-extra) [installed]

Do not have poppler-qt installed.

Evince works fine for myself. I'm running Xfce 4.10 as my desktop, all packages on my system up-to-date.

I installed texworks on my laptops. and it depends on poppler-qt.

When you see an "undefined symbol" at run time, this means a dependency that your program was compiled with and intended to be used with is not present. Even if you have all the dependencies that the PKGBUILD says you should have, the versions might be too old.

Upgrade cairo.

I get the same error. What should I do?

danielpie
there is advice in the previous message, update cairo. Probably you have cairo-ubuntu package.

vificunero · 2012-05-27 16:33:09

I have the same problem. cairo-ubuntu is up to date but I found out is out of date too. Is cairo-ubuntu-xcb the new right package? Thank's.

Just compile again the cairo-ubuntu package and that must do the trick

jesusangelm · 2012-05-27 17:07:23

I have the same problem:

(evince:8485): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: /usr/lib/libpoppler-glib.so.8: undefined symbol: cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch

(evince:8485): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Cannot load backend 'pdfdocument' since file '/usr/lib/evince/4/backends/libpdfdocument.so' cannot be read.
[1]    8485 segmentation fault  evince

i already upgrade cairo-ubuntu-xcb from AUR, but the problem remains

ConnorBehan · 2012-05-27 23:52:30

Newsflash. The newest version of cairo is 1.12. All the cairo-ubuntu-* packages in the AUR are 1.10.

If you want the ubuntu patches and don't want to adapt them so that they apply cleanly to 1.12, the other way is downgrading poppler-glib. It's either (new poppler, new cairo) or (old poppler, old cairo).

I had the same issue as described by hftsin. In my case it was a problem of mismatch of versions of poppler, poppler-qt and poppler-glib

# pacman -Qs poppler
local/poppler 0.20.0-1
    PDF rendering library based on xpdf 3.0
local/poppler-data 0.4.5-1
    Encoding data for the poppler PDF rendering library
local/poppler-glib 0.18.4-2
    Poppler glib bindings
local/poppler-qt 0.20.0-1
    Poppler Qt bindings

After upgrade of poppler-glib to 0.20.0-1 I have no more problems.

I experienced the same problem. Upgrading ubuntu-cairo from AUR (to version 1.12.2) solved it.
Thanks for the tip!

Hi all
I have the same problem with Evince and tried rebuilding cairo-ubuntu, but it gets stuck:

configure.ac:15: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
make: *** [configure] Fout 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
The build failed.

Any idea anybody?

Thanks

got same error on compile, but you forgot the previous line :

aclocal.m4:17: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.68.
You have another version of autoconf. It may work, but is not guaranteed to.
If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically `autoreconf'.

Roken · 2012-05-30 15:17:39

To recompile cairo-ubuntu just add a line in the PKGBUILD

autoreconf

above make in Build(). (Documented at AUR)

Actually for me (Arch x64) inserting autoreconf before ./configure in build make it work.

(Couple first comments here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17327)

Cheers,

Fixed by installing/upgrading cairo-ubuntu.
