GTK2 app dysfunction
Niki Kovacs
I use GTKcdlabel a lot to print some nice CD covers. I hadn't reinstalled it
yet on my Slack 10.2, but now I did it, and it shows some strange
dysfunctionings. Here's what I get when I issue 'gtkcdlabel' from Konsole
in KDE:
[kikinovak@bertha:/mnt/cdrom/extras/gtkcdlabel] $ gtkcdlabel
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_spb_value_changed'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_print_clicked'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_da_configure_event'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler

(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler

(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_mp3button_clicked'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler

(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_spb_changed'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_da_button_press_event'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_use_tray_toggled'.
(gtkcdlabel:8140): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_tray_bg_choice_toggled'
Description of the problem: when I click on a "Browse" field in the app, the
file browser window doesn't open. Moreover, any changes in the Settings
field are simply ignored, so for the moment, this normally nifty app is
pretty much useless.
Any clues?

supported anymore. I checked on the gtkcdlabel project page: uh huh, it
requires glade, but Slack only includes libglade. Glade in his turn
requires scrollkeeper, so I
1) compiled and installed scrollkeeper
2) compiled and installed glade
3) recompiled and reinstalled gtkcdlabel
Still the same error (see 1st post in this thread). Tried to recompile
scrollkeeper and glade with various options, scrollkeeper with the options
suggested in the install file, glade according to the slackbuild script I
found on Slacky.it. No way. Since I'm not a developer, only a civilian,
this leaves me clueless. Any suggestions, apart downgrading back to 10.1?

Me not run KDE, but the errors look like missing 'glue' layer GTK -> KDE,
do other GTK apps work? Missing something you not looking at?

Hah! Programming is simply about writing executable documentation :o)
Which is real, source code or the ephemera produced on execution?
(And how come source survives execution? Must be magical after all.)

No downgrade to 10.1, check if you installed all the libraries, then wait
for someone knows what they talking about to offer cluebat or three.

try google, it might help:
gtkcdlabel libglade-WARNING could not find signal handler
and it returned:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gtkcdlabel/gtkcdlabel/README?rev=1.3
where you can find, if you're not too lazy to read:
FAQ/PROBLEMS:
Q: I get lots of (gtkcdlabel:6269): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'.
when i start gtkcdlabel - and no button works. Whats wrong?
A: Your linker is too old. Update or simply do the following
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:- -export-dynamic}" ; export LDFLAGS
./configure
make

Thanks, but now I'm doubly sorry, because I don't understand the answer.
1) What is a linker? (I'm a civilian, not a developer.)
2) Do I have one on my system?
3) What do I have to do (e. g. step by step) to update it?
I fear the above answer is way too laconic for me.

i'm also not a developer, just a user. before running ./configure for
gtkcdlabel, enter this line:
$ LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:- -export-dynamic}" ; export LDFLAGS
and see if something will happen when you recompile program.
i'm not sure if
# ldconfig
would help....

a linker takes a bunch of object files, the ones created by gcc, and
combines them into a single binary executable. it normally runs after gcc
has done its bit.

if you've installed the d series, you have. it's called ld. man ld for
details. it's part of the binutils packages.

if the version that comes with slack 10.2 is too old, your only option is
to download the latest version and compile it:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/>

it's just a shell command, or better three shell commands.
