[SOLVED] Rhythmbox does not start

I have rhythmbox 2.90.1.git20110528-1 and when I try to start it I get this error:

rhythmbox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0: undefined symbol: UCNV_FROM_U_CALLBACK_ESCAPE_46

I tried unistalling / reinstalling it but it does not work.

do you have any ideas?

thanks,

Re: [SOLVED] Rhythmbox does not start

Have you tried doing a re-install on libwebkit3, or just rhythmbox? Also make sure you have extra/icu(>=4.6) installed or try re-installing that.

I had uninstall rhythmbox, but not libwekitgtk.

THANKS A LOT, that fixed my problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Rhythmbox does not start

No problem, glad to hear you've got it working. I noticed the rhythmbox package does depend on libwebkit3. I'm just pointing this out to show there isn't a bug in the rhythmbox package, it must have been in dependency checking when you install rhythmbox.

My next guess would be that you had rhythmbox installed and working, then another package removed/replaced libwebkit3 which broke rhythmbox.

All in all, glad it's working for you!
