Hi,

I installed xscreensaver 4.19 and try to use the XAnalogTV mode.
In my .xscreensaver config I specified:

chooseRandomImages: True
imageDirectory: /home/pberg/4xscreensaver

But xscreensaver does not select the pictures from the directory.
The error message in .xsession-erros is:

xscreensaver-getimage: relocation error:
/usr/local/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
g_filename_display_name

I have two versions of glib installed one in /usr/local/lib and one
in /usr/lib. In /usr/local/lib is the version which contsins the
function:

$strings libglib-2.0.so.0.600.2 | grep g_filename_display_name
g_filename_display_name
$

The version in /usr/lib does not contain the function:

$strings libglib-2.0.so.0.200.1 | grep g_filename_display_name
$

In my /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/local/lib is specified, in my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
too.
What is wrong with my setup ?
BTW, if I start xscreensaver-demo I see the images from
/home/pberg/4xscreensaver in the small preview window.
Only if I press the "preview" button below the program can not load
the images.
Any hint is welcome.
