[Gambas-user] gambas2-gb-pdf and libpoppler1 issue

[Daniel Campos]

Hi:

Libpoppler entered in most distros when It was unstable, it is not a
good idea to add unstable software in a stable distro, however in that
case they needed an answer for PDF management problem and they decided
to include it, the same happened with Dbus, for example. As expected,
libpoppler API changed, so it is not possible to run gb.pdf with the
different libpoppler1 external interface.

The only way to do it in an old distribution is adding libpoppler2 by
hand, that is compiling it from sources, and then compiling Gambas2,
or if you find backports for your distribution, adding new
repositories.
