Here is the answer I supplied for the new faq at
http://www.fl.priv.at/cgi-faq/faqw.py?req=home
Since someone else on this list had the same problem as I, I decided
that made it a faq.
6.2. remadmin gives an error when I start up
Question: I have redhat 5.1 and I'm trying to use linuxconf. It used
to work okay in graphics mode, but now whenever I try it says:
"remadmin (GUI frontend) exiting abnormaly"
I upgraded to the latest rpm from redhat and the problem still exists.
Answer: Did you upgrade your gnome libraries?
Do this:
# ldd /usr/bin/gnome-linuxconf
# /usr/bin/gnome-linuxconf localhost
# /bin/remadmin
You will get an error like:
/usr/bin/gnome-linuxconf: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.0: undefined symbol: GTK_TYPE_GDK_COLOR
This is presumably caused by upgrading the gnome libraries. I can't
find any new version of gnome-linuxconf, so instead delete
gnome-linuxconf and install the latest version of linuxconf-gui.
This worked for me. (Michael Hirsch, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> acting
