inkscape - running fails with "dyld: lazy symbol binding failed"

[rob@…]

After installing inkscape, running it gives a dynamic loader failure:

rob-hoofts-imac[124]~%% inkscape
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _cairo_atsui_font_face_create_for_atsu_font_id

Did you happen to upgrade the cairo port recently? What does port installed cairo say?

[rob@…]

I try to keep upgrading my outdateds...

rob-hoofts-imac[125]~%% port installed cairo
The following ports are currently installed:
  cairo @1.6.4_1+macosx
  cairo @1.8.0_0+macosx (active)

I just noticed "the gimp" has developed the same problem; that is a package I installed in June.

Cairo 1.8.0 has API changes that break all versions of pango previous to pango 1.22.0 which just became available as a port yesterday. Please sync your ports and try upgrading pango. I think this will fix the problem.

An update: I am still fighting with this problem. I am trying to upgrade pango, but there are multiple packages every day at the moment that do not want to build for different reasons (py25-numpy and many gnome packages at this point). I'll keep trying.

[rob@…]

Solved.

If the problem is still the one referenced above then to be more explicit, I would do this (assuming cairo 1.8.0 is installed and active as above).

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean --all pango
sudo port update pango

Then inkscape should run again -- you shouldn't have to rebuild inkscape for this.

If the problem is something else now, please send error details and what platform you are on.
