Most likely Mandrake's python was not using the RTLD_GLOBAL hack that
Red Hat Linux had. If libimlib-jpeg.so needs a symbol called
"_gdk_malloc_image", it needs to have a DT_NEEDED entry that says what
library to get it from. (i.e., it needs to include -lgdk on the link
line)
As you can see:
[msw@sid msw]$ ldd /usr/lib/libimlib-jpeg.so
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x4001a000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
This would be OK if libgdk_imlib.so linked against libgdk, but:
[msw@sid 8.0]$ ldd /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4003c000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40046000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4005d000)
libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x4006b000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4008f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4016c000)
So it's all totally broken. The RIGHT thing to do is fix gdkimlib. I
think it would be much easier to make your application use gdkpixbuf
which doesn't suffer these coding errors.
Cheers,
Matt
