Re: [easybuild] The fontconfig/2.12.4-GCCcore-6.4.0 module makes /usr/bin/gedit crash on CentOS 7.6
Hi Kenneth, Thanks a lot for your analysis of the problem. We have upgraded our modules (GPAW and ASE) to use the intel-2018b or foss-2018b toolchain which loads fontconfig 2.13. This solves the problem with gedit (and emacs) on CentOS 7.6.

In other words, the gedit build in CentOS 6 requires fontconfig 2.13.0, which is why it fails when an older fontconfig module is loaded. Since the problem actually comes from Pango, one solution you can try is to also load Pango/1.41.1-foss-2018a (which uses fontconfig 2.12.6). Bottom line here is that the use of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the troublemaker here, since that makes gedit pick up older fontconfig libraries... regards, Kenneth On 07/12/2018 11:35, Ole Holm Nielsen wrote: After we upgraded our login-nodes from CentOS 7.5 to 7.6, the /usr/bin/gedit editor suddenly crashes with an error message: $ gedit gedit: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightFromOpenTypeDouble I've localized the error to the loading of any one of the following modules: fontconfig/2.12.4-GCCcore-6.4.0 fontconfig/2.12.6-GCCcore-6.4.0 However, the latest module fontconfig/2.13.0-GCCcore-7.3.0 doesn't cause the error.
