Hello!
I try to install gcstar 1.0.0 on win XP. Active perl was successfully installed by gcstar installer. If I try to run gcstar, I get error window: "No g_initially_unowned_get_type entry found in libgobject-2.0-0.dll" or something similar (my locale is russian).
I had try to install and reinstall gcstar/activeperl/gtk+ in different combinations, but nothing helps...

Hello,

Could you please try this procedure:

1/ Remove the folder usr in directory where GCstar have been installed (Default is C:\Program Files\GCstar)
2/ Then try to install Gtk2-Perl using instructions on this page: http://www.lostmind.de/gtk2-perl/

Do this without removing anything before. If it still fails, uninstall 1st Perl-Gtk2 and ActiveState Perl and repeat the procedure.

Thank you for your help.

I had this exact same problem. Changing gcstar.bat to the following fixed it for me:

Code:

cd "c:\program files\gcstar\bin"
set LANG=EN
perl gcstar

Seems to be working perfectly, as far as I can tell.

Hi,

i have quite the same problem with the DLL "libgobject-2.0-0.dll" like user ZHUM.

My system is a M$ W2K SP4 with all available updates.
I installed "ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x86-267479.msi" and afterwards I am following the instructions on page http://www.lostmind.de/gtk2-perl/
The installation of GCstar_1.1.1_Setup.exe follows.

Starting of GCStar generates the message screen by wperl.exe: "the Dynamic Link Library ... could not be found in the specified path. ... (now following the pathnames)".

This DLL was not installed in any folder on my PC.

I am also following the procedure listed in posting #2 by TIAN, but with no effect.

1.) Do I forget to install some packages?
2.) Are there any packages to install to get the correct DLL?

By the way, some pages in the internet offer DLL's. I tried out these pages and copied the requested DLL's one by one into the path.
The effect after this operation is, that I get the same message that entry point quoted by ZHUM could not be found in "libgobject-2.0-0.dll"

Installing and reinstalling does not help me in any case!

And now you, TIAN.

What can i do to get the programm running?

Any help is appreciated.
Greetings ... Dirk

I think that the dll libgobject-2.0.0.dll is normally install by this package : GTK+/Win32 Runtime Environment Installer 2.8.20-1 ( on http://www.lostmind.de/gtk2-perl/ )

Do you have installed it ?

Iceman · 2007-02-19 19:46:59

Oooops!

I have said that i was following the instructions on page http://www.lostmind.de/gtk2-perl/ , but i obviously don't.

In section "Dependencies" of this page is written about "GTK+/Win32 Runtime Environment Installer 2.8.20-1 ": "[...] If you are just going to write programs with gtk2-perl you will only need the Runtime Environment." I won't write programs in perl and so i misinterpreted this sentence in the way that i do not have to install the package.

Okay - i made a mistake!

I downloaded the package now, installed it, started GCStar ... and ... everything is fine.

Thanks a lot for the quick solution of my problem.

Greetings to all developers of this program, it's great.

Bye ... Dirk

In fact it was easy for me, I've done the same error few days ago

Isegrim · 2011-03-06 12:17:15

Sadly GCstar stopped working for me. I got this Error "g_initially_unowned_get_type" not found in DLL "libgobject-2.0-0.dll

I'm running w7 with all updates. Installed all mentions packets in this thread and tried various methods of uninstallung, deleting, reinstall but nothing helps

I really hope some one have a idea what can I do.
