Description Thorsten Leemhuis 2016-10-10 09:02:24 UTC 
Trying to start meld 3.16.3 on CentOS7 results in this error msg:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 236733

  • File "/usr/bin/meld", line 281 in <module>

AttributeError: 'gi.repository.GLib' object has no attribute 'log_set_handler' 

It might be a bug in glib, but the components in CentOS7 afaics are new enough for meld (at least according to its README file):

$ rpm -q python gtk3 glib2 pygobject3 gtksourceview3
python-2.7.5-39.el7_2.x86_64
gtk3-3.14.13-16.el7.x86_64
glib2-2.42.2-5.el7.x86_64
pygobject3-3.14.0-3.el7.x86_64
gtksourceview3-3.14.3-1.el7.x86_6
Comment 1 Vasily Galkin 2016-10-12 10:02:20 UTC 
It looks that gobject-introspection GLib.log_set_handler is not a wrapper around g_log_set_handler but around g_log_set_handler_full which was introduced in 2.46.

g_log_set_handler has no gobject-introspection support at all due to resource releasing problem.

So currently meld-3-16 branch doesn't work with glib < 2.46.
Comment 2 Kai Willadsen 2016-10-15 20:12:02 UTC 
Yep, my bad. I had no intention of bumping the requirement like that. I've just silently caught the AttributeError in both the meld-3-16 branch and master, so this should now work fine on C7, best I know.

Thanks for the bug report.
