Hi Aleix, i decided to answer separately - and change the subject line - (a) the guile-cairo related issue, on homebrew, from the (b) snapshot related issue, on homebrew as well here is the 'subthread' for the guile-cairo related issue, on homebrew [1]. > > > Anyways, guile-cairo is fine going back to stable 3.0.9. > > Ok, so just to make sure, now both the gtk4/simple-paintable.scm and > > gtk4/animated-paintable.scm examples work fine on 'your' platform as > > well? > Nope, they don't. Sorry, I should have been much more explicit and > provide more info. Ok - These are two examples ported from the upstream gtk4-demo, can you run one or both of these examples? [screenshot attached of the upstream gt4-demo ui (on debian trixie (current testing)). If they don't work, please report upstream, if they do work, try to get a backtrace as well, for the simple-animation.scm example only, let's try to identify the problem for the simplest one ... David [1] fwiw all g-golf gtk-4 examples work fine upstream (debian trixie) as well as on freebsd.
