Thanks for the bug report. This appears to match the stack trace in bug 155301, which was closed because it was believed to be fixed. It was marked as fixed not long after the Fedora 3 release, so I'm not sure if this really is a duplicate or if perhaps it indicates that the bug is still there. So I'll leave this open for someone else to take a look at...
Please email a copy of the sheet to jody@gnome.org and terra@gnome.org. If confidential, please state so and we'll delete it as soon as we're through with it. Also, what Gnumeric version?
User reports using 1.2.13 (which I should have seen in the backtrace, of course). The sheet loads fine for me in the 1.4 series. There are still a lot of warnings on stderr, though. Samples: (gnumeric:8875): gnumeric:read-WARNING **: EXCEL: color index (15139312) is out of range (8..64). Defaulting to black (gnumeric:8875): gnumeric:read-WARNING **: EXCEL: color index (81) is out of range (8..64). Defaulting to black (gnumeric:8875): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: object class `SheetWidgetRadioButton' has no property named `text' (gnumeric:8875): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: object class `SheetWidgetRadioButton' has no property named `markup' The last two have to do with things that aren't implemented.
Downloaded Gnumeric 1.4.2-1 RPM and installed on my computer. File still does not open, receive error "unsupported file format" now. Could I have something missing in the installation?
That sounds like the excel plugin somehow has been turned off. Check under Tools->Plugins.
The box next to "MS Excel (TM)" is checked. No Excel spreadsheets in my possession will open. Should I have uninstalled Gnumeric first? The package seemed to update alright.
We've had other reports of problems with recent FedoraCore When you run gnumeric from the command line do you see any messages ? Unfortunately that backtrace makes little sense.
*** Bug 168581 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Where do we stand with this? I vaguely remember that this was something with an undefined symbol like g_assert_whatever. If so, have a look at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/542235315cc85aea/1637a732079fa0f8?q=gnumeric&rnum=3#1637a732079fa0f8
I'd vote to call this fedora-core build breakage.
