Hi,

just to make sure I understand, the gui opens (layer manager + window), but
adding map layer doesn't work? What else doesn't work? Do you get any other
error in the terminal or gui console? I just want to make sure there is no
other reason behind this. I was not really able to understand what the
weird error means by googling, but it seems that sometimes it could be
harmless.

Thanks,

Anna
