why does greenbone need gtk in Openvas 7

[Ali Khalfan]

I run gsad on Debian squeeze and I get the below:

GLib-ERROR **: The thread system is not yet initialized.
aborting...
Aborted


why is GLib needed at all I thought greenbone was web based. and how
to fix this? installing gtk2 and dev doesn't seems to do anything.

glib != gtk
the opposite is true

what about read the wikipedia article i linked?

because it is a library and functions are used from it?
because write the code from libraries from scratch
won't gain anything but another implementation of
already existing things even less tested

why is software ushing glibc?
why is software using apr?
why is software uisng gnutls/openssl?

because it exists and thats the purpose of libraries

That makes sense.. I get it now

Has anyone encountered this on greenbone? Is there a fix for it?

I added g_thread_init(NULL) in gsad.c in the function gsad_init ()
and it looks like it


gsad_init ()
{
tracef ("Initializing the Greenbone Security Assistant...\n");

/* Init Glib. */
#if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION (2, 31, 0)
mutex = g_malloc (sizeof (GMutex));
g_mutex_init (mutex);
#else
if (mutex == NULL)
{ g_thread_init(NULL);
mutex = g_mutex_new ();
}
