Just to make sure; that is _everything_ compiz prints, right?

Can you run 'ldd /usr/lib/libpng*so*' ?

It's fairly strange that your png lib is mentioning compiz functions, unless I'm missing something obvious, which I think I must be doing...

i keep thinking i am missing something too so,,, again i uninstalled
everything and made sure there was nothing left,,, deleted my
.compiz and .css folder and removed the .config/compiz-managerrc file
i also made sure there is nothing compiz related in gconf
did a revdep-rebuild
reinstalled everything again, and still the same error

[Kristian]

Ok this is just plain strange, everything looks perfect.

Please run compiz with strace and paste the output after a SHORT while (This is likely to prodcue a rather large handfull of information if left running):

strace compiz --your-options 2> my-strace-log.txt

Also, just for completenes; ls -l /usr/local/lib/compiz/libpng.so (Or wherever it is stored), and a ldd on that too.

Looks like I need more of the strace, that doesn't seem to get past the initial configuration.

PS: I'm off to bed, so take your time :)

[Jupiter]

honestly i have no idea what i am looking at in this strace
but as i look over it i keep seeing this
[code:d57a4]No such file or directory[/code:d57a4]
example:
[code:d57a4]
open("/home/zero/.compiz/plugins/libput.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[/code:d57a4]
[code:d57a4]open("/home/zero/.compiz/metadata/put.xml", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[/code:d57a4]

to me this is kinda weird
so i went and created those folders and restarted compiz
and same error and there is nothing in those folders
here is the whole strace i did,,, couldn't attach here because of size

That's just trying to see if a plugin exists in your home dir (which is supported), verses the global dir.

[Kristian]

Sigh, I'm not really much closer.

It opens the correct file, which obviously also looks for the png library on your system, and finds it. It seems it tries to execute the compiz init functions on the png library instead of the png plugin, which is puzzeling me.

Could you remove the png plugin, git pull, and build+install again?

This is probably one of those problems where the solution is obvious to anyone who've experienced it before, but since I haven't...

Anyway, if that doesn't solve it, you might want to try ltrace, it'll produce an equally ridiculous amount of data, if not greater.

Just a "fun fact of the day"; strace tracks the system calls (Like opening/closing files, reading/writing, memory management, etc). Since functions don't allways return true, it is perfectly normal to see a bunch of error messages in an strace. I used your output to make sure compiz was opening the correct files, and it looked sane. ltrace on the other hand is for library calls, like requesting a copy of data from one area in memory to another, counting characters in a string... actually, pretty much everything. Library calls often also leads to system calls. (System calls are handled by the kernel, library calls are not, but are often used as frontends to system calls.). So know you know what you were looking at :)

ok i understand
thanks nesl247

[Jupiter]

thanks for the excellent explanation Kristian

i use ebuilds from xeffects to do my install and don't know how
to exclude the png plugin that way

one thing i notice when i enable the png plugin in ccs-settings, i see this in the
terminal "A handler is already registered"
[code:de2b2]Active Plugin List update
compiz: dlsym: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo

compiz: Couldn't load plugin 'png'
A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org"
A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org"
[/code:de2b2]
so anyhow i went ahead and ran the ltrace
http://beryl.planetjupiter.com/stuff/my-ltrace-log.txt

[Kristian]

Eh, I can't seem to find any refference to an attempt to load png there, are you sure you actually loaded the png plugin when you ran ltrace?

[Jupiter]

Eh, I can't seem to find any refference to an attempt to load png there, are you sure you actually loaded the png plugin when you ran ltrace?

i just noticed that myself and checked and found i hadn't enabled
please accept my opology for wasting your time
i just ran another ltrace WITH the png plugin enabled...
http://beryl.planetjupiter.com/stuff/my-ltrace-log1.txt

[Kristian]

Ok, now we're getting somewhere:

[code:83cbf]
sprintf("/usr/lib/compiz/libpng.so", "%s/lib%s.so", "/usr/lib/compiz", "png") = 25
dlopen("/usr/lib/compiz/libpng.so", 1) = NULL
free(0x8390340) = <void>
strlen("png") = 3
malloc(11) = 0x823efe0
sprintf("libpng.so", "lib%s.so", "png") = 9
dlopen("libpng.so", 1) = 0x8252720
dlerror() = NULL
dlsym(0x8252720, "getCompPluginInfo") = NULL
dlerror() = "/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: undefine"...
fprintf(0x37c5a540, "%s: dlsym: %s\n", "compiz", "/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: undefine"...compiz: dlsym: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo
) = 75
fprintf(0x37c5a540, "%s: Failed to lookup getCompPlug"..., "compiz"compiz: Failed to lookup getCompPluginInfo in 'libpng.so' plugin
) = 65
dlclose(0x8252720) = 0
free(0x823efe0) = <void>
[/code:83cbf]

As you can see, the first dlopen returns NULL, which means it failed. It seems it continues to attempt to find the png plugin by using no paths, which means it falls back on the default library path, where it finds the libpng library, and tries to load that as a plugin.

Now you need to figure out why you're not able to load /usr/lib/compiz/libpng.so. It IS possible to get to errors, but not easily. Your best bet is to tinker with the plugin first; Try deleting it and reinstalling it (re-emerge? I'm not familiar with gentoo specifics). It might be something simple like corruption due to a canceled compile, running out of disk, unmet or mismatched (run time) dependencies, or similar.

If that doesn't work, you'll either have to play with gdb, which is non-trivial when you're talking about a window manager, or modify the code to add debug printouts during plugin load... Let's hope you/we can avoid that... Though it is only a matter of doing a few dlerror() calls when it fails.

[Jupiter]

i do have way plenty of disk space and i get no compile errors at all
so i have tried removing everything once more
including libpng
and re-installing it all again
still same error
i get a similar error for "inotify" plugin when i enable it

[nesl247]

Same issue here. Kristian, does the plugin work for you on whatever distro you use?

[Kristian]

Yes, it does.

.... nesl: "The extension patch is not allowed" .... "The extension txt is not allowed"

Please apply the attached patch, a cleverly renamed .patch file (no, it's not actually zipped), and try again. It should give more of a usable error message.

[nesl247]

Gives a great message. Seg fault. Oh and posting .patch or .diff files should be possible now.

Maybe we are having two separate issues, but I could have sworn I had this error a while back, now I just segs.

[Jupiter]

i just want to say thanks to both of you for looking into this

don't think i mentioned this earlier BUT
png plugin works fine if i use beryl, the problem only exist
when i use compcomm,,, which leads me to believe the error
is in the beryl-premerge package

[Kristian]

... ehm?

Are you sure all your plugins and core is at the same version?

Anyway, if not, you better run a gdb on it... (screen, export DISPLAY=:0.0; gdb compiz; run --sm-disable --replace ccp, switch to tty1, login, screen -x, bt, paste...).

[SpmP]

I have been getting the same problem with libccs, is this the right place to go on about this to, or start a new thread?

At anyrate after many uninstalles/make clean depclean, git pull (everyday for a week or so), using compiz linked from beryl-project and the one from freedesktop (which should be the same).. always the same:

Kristian, what version of libpng do you have? And could you try with 1.2.16 if you're distro has it? That's the latest gentoo one, and I wonder if it's the version that is causing the issues with the png plugin.

Also, what's the difference between compiz's png, and beryl's png plugin? Because beryl's worked just fine.

[Jupiter]

nesl247 just so you know, i did try it with
libpng-1.2.16, 1.2.15, 1.2.14

[Bastion]

Today I compile svn versiom, I have been getting the same problem with libccs :

[code:c7f3b]dlsym: /usr/local/lib/libccs.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfocompiz: Failed to lookup getCompPluginInfo in 'libccs.so'[/code:c7f3b]

Along those same lines...I have libpng error with vmware as well and in that error it says
[code:aea24] /opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)[/code:aea24]

so Kristian could you tell us what version of not only libpng you are using but also
dbus and libcairo

Just so you know,,, according to the vmware threads related to this libpng problem
in the Gentoo forums,,, it all started when dbus was bumbed up into the 1.0 revs

[Jupiter]

correct me if i am wrong but don't these two errors mean the same thing or similar

"Failed to lookup getCompPluginInfo"
[code:1ee4a]dlsym: /usr/local/lib/libccs.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfocompiz: Failed to lookup getCompPluginInfo in 'libccs.so'

the dirty solution i read was "way dirty"
[code:1ee4a]use LC_ALL=C emerge binutils then reemerge gcc libpng cairo pango gtk+[/code:1ee4a]
not what i would want to do

the other solution i read was
[code:1ee4a]Just compile libpng by hand (./configure
make
make install)
and reemerge cairo and pango
[/code:1ee4a]
now i would like to try this,,, however if i compile libpng this way, then i can't use portage
"emerge" for cairo, pango and gtk+, as that wants to emerge libpng,,,,
how do i work around this, without manually having to compile cairo, pango and gtk+

[Jupiter]

ok i think i found a possible solution

please look at this bug report and see
if this is related to our problem...
i am not a dev, so am not qualified to
determine that, but it does say
"version script fails with symbol prefixes"
and
[quote:284c8]
some compilers/ABIs require symbol prefixes (like an underscore) but libpng's use of a version script does not handle this ... by translating C symbols directly to those visible by the linker, the compiler misses the chance to automatically prefix the symbols

if this is the case then can't we just put libpng
in our repo and patch it that way?

(This is a stock Debian Etch, use http://packages.debian.org if you're curious about the rest of my package-versions...)

I also somehow doubt that this is directly linked with libpng, though I won't rule it out. Having a local branch for libpng also seems rather pointless. It might solve things for the few people who bothered using it, but most people don't want to get their libpng from us.

Also, I'm afraid that ltrace is useless SpmP; It doesn't show a single plugin loading. Basicly, it's cut off too early to be of much use...

What I find funny is that compiz is looking in /usr/lib/libpng12.so and not /usr/(local)/lib/compiz/libpng.so

I have this strange feeling that the png plugin is not installed into /usr/lib/compiz and that compiz is looking elsewhere.

Make sure that when you are using your prefixes for compiz - its ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/lib and --enable-png is in there too
