If you try to load a directory containing a .tiff image in nautilus,
the nautilus process will bomb out with:
ld.so.1: nautilus: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/athena/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so: symbol TIFFRGBAImageBegin: referenced symbol not found
The problem is that our default LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting of
/usr/openwin/lib is causing the apparently deficient
/usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so to be preferred to
/usr/athena/lib/libtiff.so.
The openwin libtiff.so comes from SUNWolrte, which is important, so we
can't just take the relevant package out of the release.
Possible solutions I can think of:
* Ditch the default LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting. I'd be more
comfortable doing this if we weren't already in early test, but
since the important openwin libraries are linked from /usr/lib I
wouldn't expect anything to break.
* Remove /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so in oschanges. (Could
conceivably cause openwin software to break.)
* Put a wrapper around nautilus that removes /usr/openwin/lib from
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or some such. (Could conceivably affect terminal
windows started from the nautilus menu?)
The first option seems best, so I'll run with it for now.
