hello all,
my investigation of the gtk/eclipse issue that i reported here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177949#c13
lead me to search for previously-installed versions of the gtk and its
dependent packages on my solaris 9 sparc sunblade 100. the
sunfreeware.comgtk packages that i recently updated were installed to
/usr/local/lib.
however, a search for "*pango*.so*" revealed previously-installed pkgs in
/usr/lib as well (i am assumming these came bundled with the solaris 9 os
installation).
as a test, i temporarily moved the pango libraries from /usr/lib and started
eclipse. from that test, i determined that eclipse was in fact referencing
the older, previously-installed versions of the gtk packages. so in order to
make eclipse refer to the most recently updated gtk 2.2.4 packages that i
dl'd from sunfreeware.com, i did the following:
1. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2. java -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib eclipse ...
now, eclipse is - without a doubt - referencing the gtk 2.2.4 packages. but,
it is now failing to launch and reporting the following error:
"ld.so.1: eclipse: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/libgtk-
x11-2.0.so.0: symbol gdk_font_equal: referenced symbol not found"
so, i ran the following ldd command:
ldd /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.200.4
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-

according to the following post from billy biggs, the gdk_font_equal symbol
is supposed to be defined in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg44199.html
according to the output of ldd on my installation of gtk 2.2.4,
gdk_font_equal appears to be undefined in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.
i also ran nm libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0:

i appreciate that one workaround (compile gtk from source) was suggested by
one eclipse developer:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg44228.html
and another workaround was suggested by another developer (reinstall solaris
9!):
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg44317.html
i am not a c/c++ developer. i would rather not have to spend days or weeks ,
first learning how to compile c/c++ programs, then more days or weeks
debugging failed compilations. so please, can anybody suggest an
alternative, less-complicated workaround for the undefined gdk_font_equal
symbol not found in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0?
thanks in advance for your help.
many thanks,
sun_certified
