Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: undefin

[mandreiana]

Hi,

WIth 1.0.3 on Fedora 7 test:

$ vmplayer

GTK Accessibility Module initialized

GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once.

aborting...

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: undefined symbol: atk_misc_instance

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so: undefined symbol: atk_misc_get_instance

Google doesn't help on this. Also tried

VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force vmplayer

Is it a bug in atk?

Thanks

Additional info from Fedora, this is vmplayer's bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229341

Well, since you are attempting to install/configure/run a software application on a host OS which is not listed as supported by that software, please refer to it as an "issue", not a "bug". It may be semantics, but there IS a difference.

Have you tried the latest vmware-any-any-update patch?

I am also running the latest Fedora 7 (Test 2) kernel (2.6.20-1.2975.fc7). I get the following (similar) error message when I run vmplayer (version 1.0.3) :

\[k@localhost ~]$ vmplayer

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

Yes I have installed (used) vmware-any-any-1.0.8.tar.gz installed.
