do you have Mesa or another OpenGL implementation installed?

I've committed a work around that will allow f-spot to come up, but I still need to understand the specifics of your system. You said that the dllmap fix in the .config file didn't help in mail, is that correct? Do you have Mesa or one of the proprietary drivers installed on your system?  does a libGL.so.1 exist in /usr/lib/ or /usr/X11R6/lib?

I had the exact same issue as Hugo, but when I did the dllmap fix in the .config it corrected the problem and I was able to start it up OK. I don't know if that adds to the problem or helps. And I do have libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib/.

I have libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib/.

I don't think i installed Mesa or any other drivers, but not being an expert, is there any way i can check that ?

Forgot to confirm that adding the ddl fix map didn't solve it for me. Just to confirm i added

<dllmap dll="GL" target="/usr/lib/libGL.so.1"/>

to /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe.config

I have the same probleme there is the log :

thanks

I had this issue after installing F-Spot 0.3.2 from feisty, but installing the OpenGL -dev package fixed it for me:

   sudo apt-get install -t feisty libgl1-mesa-dev
