Hello, I have found many traces of similar problems on your list, but I haven't managed to solved mine (maybe it is not possible?). I'm running RedHat 7.3 (Valhalla) with old gnome. For some stupid reasons (I blame myself) I decided to install gtk+2.4 onjm this system. And of course all programs like Ximian Evolution, AbiWord, gnumeric do not work anymore. Typical error message is: > /usr/local/bin/AbiWord-2.2 (AbiWord-2.2:11198): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** (AbiWord-2.2:11198): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed ** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting... Aborted Everything I have installed from sources. Even AbiWord 2.2 (after gtk installation). I have followed the gtk installation procedure (pangoo, atk, glib-2) are also installed. Any idea what to do without upgrading the whole system to some fedora?
