Error: Problem while installing libgnomeui

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

That's odd, gtk2 runs this in post-activate:

${prefix}/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >${prefix}/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

so that file should exist.

I looked for /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders, but didn't see the file there. So, today I did a clean --all of libgnomeui, ran the selfupdate, and tried yet again so I could verify whether the file was there afterwards. But, this time it worked! It installed libgnomeui @2.24.2_0 without a hitch.

I had done those steps before, and I haven't tried since entering this ticket, so I'm not sure what changed. It's working, though, so you can close this ticket as far as I'm concerned...

(I looked for the gdk-pixbuf.loaders file with an /opt/local to replace the ${prefix} portion of the path in front of the /etc/gtk-2.0, of course! Didn't want you to think I didn't find it 'cause I looked in the wrong place. It wasn't there.) -- LL
