rofi can not load mode plugin due to undefined symbol: cairo_image_sur

Using rofi and json-menu.
After an update (can't tell which one, sorry), json-menu stopped working.
Rofi displays the following error:

(process:2644): Rofi-WARNING **: 20:49:12.742: Failed to open 'mode' plugin: 'jsonmenu.so', error: /usr/lib/rofi/jsonmenu.so: undefined symbol: cairo_image_surface_create_from_svg

I tried reinstalling rofi, json-menu and cairo.

Any ideas/hints on where I could look?

Re: rofi can not load mode plugin due to undefined symbol: cairo_image_sur

cairo_image_surface_create_from_svg used to be defined in /usr/bin/rofi, but is no longer.
It's still used by json-menu: https://github.com/marvinkreis/rofi-jso … enu.c#L310
So you'd have to downgrade rofi and file a bug against json-menu

A downgrade to rofi 1.6.0 did indeed do the trick.
Opened an issue for json-menu here https://github.com/marvinkreis/rofi-json-menu/issues/4

cairo_image_surface_create_from_svg does still seem to be present in rofi though... https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/blob … per.h#L317. My C in not up to par though

I'll see what the issue turns up.

Thank you for your help!

The function declaration is still in the header file while the definition was removed in https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/comm … 7f190L1140
