Latest AIX RPMs for gtk2 and glib2 seem to conflict

  • 1.  Latest AIX RPMs for gtk2 and glib2 seem to conflict

    Posted Thu April 15, 2021 07:39 PM
    The latest libgdk-x11-2.0.a (from the gtk2 RPM) is looking for strcmp in libgmodule-2.0.a (which is odd):

    # dump -X64 -Tv /opt/freeware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.a | grep -w strcmp
    [533] 0x00000000 undef IMP DS EXTref libgmodule-2.0.a(libgmodule-2.0.so.0) strcmp

    The previous 2.56.1-2 glib2 RPM has a libgmodule-2.0.a that does contain that symbol, so it works fine with the latest gtk2 rpm:

    # dump -X64 -Tv /opt/freeware/lib/libgmodule-2.0.a | grep -w strcmp
    [46] 0x20000ff0 .data EXP DS SECdef [noIMid] strcmp

    but the latest 2.56.1-3 glib2 RPM no longer has that symbol, which causes a problem:

    # dump -X64 -Tv /opt/freeware/lib/libgmodule-2.0.a | grep -w strcmp
    [No Output]

    I don't know if the right solution is for the AIX Toolbox to rebuild the gtk2 RPM against the latest glib2 libraries so that strcmp is resolved to the system C library instead of libgmodule-2.0.a, or something else, but could someone take a look please?

    Thanks for reporting the issue. 

    We will rebuild gtk with latest glib2 and publish it ASAP.

    Great, thanks. No rush but when might the rebuild happen? I'd like to know approximately when to check back and try it out.

    We are working on it. 
    As gtk2 is used by other products like eclipse , IBM installation manager ., etc we are doing extra testing to make sure things work as before.

    Yes, I understand, and thanks for working on it. As I said before there is no rush - I was mostly just curious when I might want to check back. I will give it a couple of weeks and check back then.

    I have a problem running InstallationManager due to this, is there any workaround that can be used until the problem is fixed?

    The previous glib2 rpm still works for me so I've temporarily downgraded it on my machine:

    $ yum downgrade glib2-2.56.1-2 glib2-devel-2.56.1-2.ppc gdk-pixbuf-2.35.1-2waixX11.ppc

    Thank you Frank.
    Yes Alain for time being you can downgrade glib2 to 2.56.1-2 and that should work.

    The fixed gtk2 "2.24.30-3" is now available in Toolbox.
    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gtk2/
    One can also use yum to install/update it.
