[SOLVED] gnome-control-center fail with symbol lookup error
Both Evolution and gnome-control fail to launch with this error:
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: undefined symbol: gst_codec_utils_caps_get_mime_codecWebkit version:
$ pacman -Q | grep webkit2gtk
webkit2gtk 2.36.2-1I am running this on sway version 1.7 and linux-rt-lts
uname -r
5.15.40.43.realtime1-1-rt-ltsAny pointers? Seems this is affecting everything gnome-related on my system...
[EDIT}
It affects everything depending on webkit2gtk, in fact, not just the gnome stuff.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome-control-center fail with symbol lookup error
Ah, OK... I see. I had to freeze gstreamer at 1.18 because of a bug in openFrameworks, a cpp framework that I use for video installations. Now it finally is catchin up with me. It seems I have to live with this until the oF bug has been fixed.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome-control-center fail with symbol lookup error
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
You could install a dated gstreamer into a different location and LD_LIBRARY_PATH it for openFrameworks.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome-control-center fail with symbol lookup error
Will mark as solved, thanks for the reminder! I am extremely interested in the solution you mentioned about gstreamer! This might just solve one of my long-standing problems if it works...

Re: [SOLVED] gnome-control-center fail with symbol lookup error
You put the dated gstreamer libraries somewhere else (eg. below /opt/openFrameworks/ - maybe there's even some "lib" there already) and (if not present) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the openframeworks binary so it considers that path on library resolution.
What exactly is the "bug in openFrameworks" that requires you to use a dated gstreamer and did you rebuild openframeworks against the newer gst libraries?
