Divine Lunacy

Yeah… So you know how garnome is nice enough to build all the dependencies for me, even when I already have them installed, thus creating duplicate installations? Yeah. That happened… Then gaim wouldn’t compile. Then I got pissed off, deleted a bunch of libraries, recompiled them, and then gaim compiled. All seemed well, so I typed gaim-d into my console. There were several pango errors that made me want to run myself into a wall. I downgraded pango, and again executed gaim -d, and again, was met with despair:

gaim: symbol lookup error: gaim: undefined symbol: g_mkdir_with_parents
dns[9235]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait…!
dns[9232]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait…!
[mario@mario gaim]$

In my library deleteing spree, I deleted an installation of pango from /usr, as there was an installation of pango in /home/mario/garnome… There were, of course, some programs that were linked to the pango libraries I deleted. I was able to get around that by using a symbolic link… My guess is that the present error has it’s roots in a library that is linked to an old installation of pango or GTK, or something that is no longer installed… Now I can only hope some genius will find me on Google and set things straight :D…
