Unidentified subject!
I'm running Debian testing, and i'm up-to-date, and when i run gnumeric, i
get:
** (gnumeric:11997): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.
(gnumeric:11997): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561
(g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** (gnumeric:11997): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68
(_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed:
(glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting...
I try running, as root, pango-querymodules, and sure enough, it doesn't find
anything:
# Pango Modules file
# Automatically generated file, do not edit
#
# ModulesPath = /usr/lib/pango/1.2.0/modules
#
I tried running under strace, to see what's going on. Notably, it's looking
for things in the 1.2.0 directory:
open("/usr/lib/pango/1.2.0/modules",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
However:
# ls -d /usr/lib/pango/*
/usr/lib/pango/1.4.0
I don't know anything about pango, but i assume that this all means that the
reason i can't run gnumeric because my pango-querymodules is from version
1.2.0 and my pango directory is 1.4.0. How can i get them in sync? I tried
ln -s /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0 /usr/lib/pango/1.2.0
but boy oh boy did that not work. :)
Suggestions? Thanks.
