[Qgis-user] Startup failure - maybe a GTK issue?

[Tony Bazeley]

Hi,

I've been running qgis 1.7.3 successfully under 32 bit Ubuntu Oneiric,
and am in the process of upgrading to a new machine with the same OS but
64 bit.
Qgis produces the tips/flash screen and then fails - running from the
terminal yields the output shown below.

I've reinstalled QGIS using synaptic, and have also allowed the
rebuilding of qgis.db on startup 
I can't find any references on the Bugs page, or on the wider web, and I
am finding it difficult to sort my way through the maze of dependencies.

Any pointers as to how to proceed would be much appreciated.

TIA
Tony
