Title: Gnumeric - Error Loading
Post by: alee16 on July 15, 2006, 08:55:12 am
I've installed gnumeric_1.6.3-r0 on OZ/GPE (3.5.4.1) from the 3.5.4.1 feed.  When I try to run gnumeric it says "(gnumeric:14970): Gdk WARNING **:  gdk_property_get():  length value as wapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)"
Then it just sits there and won't load anything, I've waited as much as 10 minutes and it won't load.  
Does gnumeric need recompiled or can I just edit a file to fix this problem?

Update; must have been some coflicting libraries, because it started working all of the sudden  ?

I had the same problem when running from the desktop or from the terminal as a normal user, but launched fine when in a root terminal session.  I used the same modification as for sylpheed in one of the other topics

"In case somebody else has been struggling with the same problem, this is what I did:

Log in as root

cd /var
chmod 777 tmp"

Then Gnumeric loads ok
