GtK Version Incompatibility
I'm trying to run a program called foxglove-studio, as part of a research package that someone built and successfully ran on a different machine. The program, even when run standalone, gives the following error: ```(process:86809): Gtk-ERROR **: 15:28:15.808: GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3...
I'm trying to run a program called foxglove-studio, as part of a research package that someone built and successfully ran on a different machine. The program, even when run standalone, gives the following error:
(process:86809): Gtk-ERROR **: 15:28:15.808: GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 in the same process is not supported
My understanding is that this is implying that the program is trying to launch in GTK version 4, but the program was built assuming GTK 2/3, and so there is some version incompatibility. However, my Ubuntu installation came with GTK 4 and GTK 3 packages both installed. Is there a way to force this program to run in GTK 3 without diving into the source code? I've seen solutions for other programs with similar GTK errors, but, unless I'm mistaken, the command line arguments their solutions use appear to be program specific.
