upgrade to Quiana applications not working

Post by stevesullam »

I just upgraded mint-mate petra/saucy to quiana/trusty lts. In starting cairo-dock, synaptic, nm-applet, syanpse, and certain other applications. I get an identical error message:
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_surface_set_device_scale
Googling produced no useful answers. Any ideas?


I find this answer over and over for arch users:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188529
It doesn't help people who use debian based distros like mint.

Thanks so much in advance.

You might try uninstalling cairo, and re-installing it.

Solved it myself. I downloaded and installed the source code from http://cairographics.org/download/ :mrgreen:

I hope this helps someone else who has this problem.
