Thank you, Jbyvosges, for reporting this, and Curtis Gedak, for the solution. I had this problem also, and the fix worked for me. gparted would not open, despite uninstalling and reinstalling many times.
I had libgtk-2.4-1c2a already installed, and used Synaptic Package Manager to reinstall it. After this, gparted worked. Same setup as the initial poster: Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64 libgtkmm 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a : 1:2.24.2-1 gparted 0.8.1-1ubuntu4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878062 Title: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 cannot open shared object file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/878062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
