Just installed gtk-2.2.2 and trying to build an application against it. It fails trying to run gdk-pixbuf-csource. I looked into it and indeed gdk-pixbuf-csource is not functional. Whatever I give it to convert, it says: # strace -o zzz gdk-pixbuf-csource 2400_MHz_antenna1.JPG failed to load "2400_MHz_antenna1.JPG": Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '2400_MHz_antenna1.JPG' The interesting thing is that it does not even try to load any .so in order to convert that image file. It reads first 4k, reads /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders and bails out. On any image. This is the strace tail: ... open("2400_MHz_antenna1.JPG", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=66047, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40013000 read(4, "\377\330\377\340\0\20JFIF\0\1\2\1\0\310\0\310\0\0\377\355"..., 4096) = 4096 brk(0x804f000) = 0x804f000 open("/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=150, ...}) = 0 read(5, "# GdkPixbuf Image Loader Modules"..., 1024) = 150 brk(0x8050000) = 0x8050000 read(5, "", 1024) = 0 close(5) = 0 close(4) = 0 munmap(0x40013000, 4096) = 0 write(2, "failed to load \"2400_MHz_antenna"..., 114) = 114 _exit(1) = ?
