zim @0.72.0: Failed to load shared library 'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib' referenced by the typelib: dlopen(libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib, 9): image not found

Installing zim on Big Sur fails with the message Failed to destroot zim.

I'm using a MacBook Air 2018 with MacOS 11.0.1

Initially the error message complained about setup.py not finding libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib. After installing gdk-pixbuf2, the error message changed to (see full log in the attached file)

The relevant problem in the log probably stems from:

:info:destroot ** (process:23189): WARNING **: 22:27:30.459: Failed to load shared library 'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib' referenced by the typelib: dlopen(libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib, 9): image not found

This might be a duplicate of #61508.

Yes this is a duplicate as noted. With my GO-I fix in place "zim" installs just fine & the executables execute too (just Python scripting into a GUI).

Many thanks for the reply, and sorry I didn't notice this was a duplicate. However, I'm still getting the same problem. Did you guys commit the fix?

BTW, today I upgraded gdk-pixbuf2 on my iMac (which is running Catalina - 10.15.7), and that broke zim. I was able to get it back to work downgrading gdk-pixbuf2 to @2.40.0_1+x11.

Thanks!

We haven't fixed the issue yet with gobject-introspection . Coming soon though.
