Hi,
i am happy user of Centos 5.1 . i have installed Zimbra , Zenoss and webmin for testing purposes. Everything was going fine until yesterday when ever i want to go to yumex Gui it does not open, same with add and remove software when i click it , it does not open.
also when i go to "services" gui same is happening. Yesterday i updated the system and rebooted still the problem remains.
everything is fine if i do it through the terminal. but when i want to access services , network , yumex , add & remove software they dont start. other programs like Ooffice work.
if i check in the terminal they are working.
So what is happening ? please help in this matter.
i am using centos 5.1 on vmware server 1.0.3. will install on a production server soon.
Thanks

So if you type "yumex" in a gnome terminal, it is coming up correctly?

when i type on terminal "yumex" as root i get this:
[root@ce ~]# yumex yumex: /opt/zenoss/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/yumex/yumex.py", line 29, in ? import gtk,gobject File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in ? from gtk import _gtk ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden [root@ce ~]#
So what should i do?
Thanks

So zenoss replaced some libs and packages from CentOS do not work anymore. Shouting at Zenoss would be one solution. The other one would be to remove the zenoss stuff from /etc/ld.so.conf and/or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* - but then probably zenoss won't work anymore.
Ask them to fix it, as RPMs they ship for a certain host system should not break that system.

First ... you should not top post to the mailing list :D There are some guidelines to posting on the Mailing Lists here: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16
Specifically, we prefer the "Interleaved text" method described here: http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/06/14/quoting.html
On to your question ...
It looks like you have a version of libpng12.so.0 that does not have something that is needed by the rest of the system.
The "/opt/zenoss/lib/libpng12.so.0" seems to no like FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden that is in /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2.
What probably needs to happen is that you need to install the CentOS version of libpng from our updates repository which contains /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 and it has all the right things for the other GUI apps.
I have no idea how you installed zenoss or if it needs a custom libpng library, but the one you have installed is not working with CentOS.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

I remember someone posting about problems with Zenoss very recently. It seems I deleted those postings, but I think it was you. AFAIR, everyone told you that Zenoss installs a bunch of software that replaces the already existing CentOS software and that's why you hit various problems. To me it looks like you are still struck/stuck with the same problem. In this case it seems that Zenoss replaced the information about where to look for libraries with its own path as the library that the system would normally use is at /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0. There's a tool called ldconfig which might help to sort this out. Maybe Zenoss just added itself before the normal ldconfig search path, look in /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d. If you insist on messing up your CentOS system with Zenoss (at least it looks like Zenoss in the way you install it does that) then you would be better off to ask for help on the Zenoss forums as they should know what it does and should also be able to recommend a better way of installing it or a Linux distribution that fits better with it.
