Hi,
In Slackware 9.1 the program gutenbrowser which I have used for years in RedHat will not open.
I get the error message:
:$ gutenbrowser gutenbrowser: relocation error: gutenbrowser: undefined symbol: qInitNetworkProtocols__Fv
How could that be corrected?
This sort of error ("undefined symbol") *usually* indicates a shared-library version mismatch. If you actually moved gutenbrowser app from your RH install to your Slackware install, this is a likely cause. (It's the sort of thing that modern package-management systems, like the ones Red Hat and Debian use, catches for you ... but that mixing packages from two distros will occasionally introduce.)
Use "ldd /$PATH_TO/gutenbrowser" to find out which shared libraries gutenbrowser uses. Then compare versions between RH and Slack to find out which ones are different.
Or, if you have the development packages for your libraries instailed, you can grep "qInitNetworkProtocols__Fv" in the various include directories (the RH versions) to try to identify the library involved.
Or maybe there's a way to use "strace" to wort this out. If so, someone else will have to provide the details.
From the leading "q", I'd speculate that a KDE library is involved. But that's just a guess. And, of course, if the version of gutenbrowser that's failing was part of your Slackware install, then all this guessing isn't as good as I think it is.
