GTK+ Forums

I just ran across this runtime error when I ported my Gtk program to an x86_64 platform running Fedora 8. ( I should add that I am building my application in 32-bit mode because of the need to integrate with legacy 32-bit x86 software. )

In hopes of saving the other members of this forum some time in hunting a solution to this down (which took me quite a while) I would like to post the solution.

"libgnomebreakpad" is provided by a package called bug-buddy. I'm not certain what runtime library I am including that has a dependency on it, but the Fedora-8 repository does NOT include an i386 version of this library (or bug-buddy). So when I build my application in 32-bit mode (using the -m32 compiler flag) it looks in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules for a compatible library which it does not find. (Note: /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules contains the 64-bit version of the library if you installed bug-buddy - via "yum install bug-buddy")

The i386 version is available via http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/bug-buddy-2.20.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm
Install it and it will clear up this problem.

Hope you find this a helpful time saver!
