Fixed. I tried Giovanni's recommenation of reinstalling gjs (which didn't work), and also running `gjs-console -c "imports.gi.GLib"` from within gdb (which threw the error but did not give further information, but admittedly I am extremely new to gdb so am probably not using it as it should be).
I then tried Clemens' suggestion of logging in as a different user to eliminate per-user configuration as a problem and guess what? No error from a fresh user!! Trial and error showed that this line in my .bashrc was the problem: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH This has been in my .bashrc for many months (for compiling some separate code) and this is the first time I had problems with it -- one of the fedora updates must have modified something in there that somehow interfered with GLib. Anyhow, I could just remove this line as the reason I put it in (compiling some particular library) is no longer necessary, but this also worked export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib cheers all! (And thanks for reminding me about trying with a fresh user Clemens - it should be one of the first things I try.) _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
