Trouble starting komodo on RHEL6.5 with gdk_window_get_visual error

Support Resolved
1

I installed komodo on RHEL 6.5 and when I tried to start it, I got this error:

./komodo: symbol lookup error: /var/tmp/Komodo-IDE-9/lib/mozilla/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_window_get_visual

I read somewhere that installing gdk-pixbuf will fix the issue. I installed installed gdk-pixbuf-2.22.1 and it didn’t help.

I’d appreciate if you can help me out. Thanks!

Hi @scm,

That is the fix. Are you getting the same error? Try restarting your computer.

Yikes! It is a linux server… do I need to reboot the server?

Well that would be my first step for me but if it’s production server though, I guess that wouldn’t be an option. That begs the question of why you’re editing code on a production server though (i’m assuming you’re not).

I’m fairly certain you do not need to reboot. You should double check that you installed the package properly for your OS. Maybe this can help: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7789

How did you install the package in the first place?

I rebooted anyways but it is still the same.
I have also compiled and installed gtk±2.18.9.tar.gz (min requirement)
I have also installed the latest verison of firefox (firefox-38.0.5).
I installed the Komodo package by running the install.sh script within the package.
Still when I tried to start komodo, I got this error:

./komodo: symbol lookup error: /opt/lib/mozilla/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_window_get_visual

What is the output of the following:
yum list installed | grep pixbuf2

I assume, since you didn’t say otherwise, that Firefox ran fine?

You could also try reinstalling Komodo.
