Undefined Symbol

[andreeco]

Hi,

I got this error:

julia> using Gtk4

julia> win = GtkWindow("My First Gtk4.jl Program", 400, 200) /home/andre/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.2+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin/julia: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_display_create_queue_with_name

I run Julia 1.11.2 on a laptop with Debian testing as operating system and have installed Gtk4 v0.7.4.

Thanks for reading.

Hello

I had a somewhat similar problem when trying to add ImageView package.

/home/denys/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin/julia: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_display_create_queue_with_name

The solution was to use X11 instead of Wayland. This can be done by editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and commenting out he line

WaylandEnable=false

There seems to be an issue with Gtk on Wayland.

Sorry, I missed the discussion on discourse -- I would have also pointed at this issue. I wonder if upgrading the Wayland JLL to a newer version would fix this. There is a PR: https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/pull/9035 but it doesn't build for all platforms yet. You could check if the newer version helps by typing add https://github.com/jwahlstrand/Wayland_jll.jl in package mode.

Which is the concrete julia dependency which causes the error? After updating all my dependencies, even pinning GTK4 to 0.7.2 (which previously worked), still causes this error

[jwahlstrand]

There is a registered 1.23 Wayland_jll now, but before GTK4_jll can use it (which would fix this issue, I think) it has to be rebuilt with updated dependencies. That requires a few other packages to be rebuilt first, as discussed here: https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/pull/10815#issuecomment-2822566500

Those who are impatient can try the version of Wayland_jll that I built, as discussed above. If that doesn't fix the "Undefined Symbol" issue then we'll need to try something else.

The new Wayland_jll 1.23 in the registry fixes my Wayland issues. Please reopen this if it doesn't fix your issue!
