You have been subscribed to a public bug: There appears to be a problem with libgtkmm2.4 on i386 -- when linking inkscape, we see:
libinkpre.a(event-log.o): In function `TreeModelColumn': /usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/treemodelcolumn.h:140: undefined reference to `Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned int)' For whatever reason, on i386, the linker expects to link against "unsigned int", but on both i386 and amd64, the libgtkmm-2.4 libraries only offer an "unsigned long" version: # i386 $ objdump -C -T /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 | grep "Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned" 00266190 g DF .text 00000014 Base Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned long) 00266170 g DF .text 00000014 Base Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned long) # amd64 $ objdump -C -T /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 | grep "Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned" 00000000003373a0 g DF .text 000000000000000b Base Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned long) 0000000000337390 g DF .text 000000000000000b Base Gtk::TreeModelColumnBase::TreeModelColumnBase(unsigned long) ** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Gutsy) Importance: High Status: Confirmed -- linking problem on i386 vs amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121461 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
