Hello everyone,

I am using CentOS release 6.8 to start a gtk app built on RHEL 5. when I try to start the app, i get the following error

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest

Output of the command ldd -d -r -v libXrandr.so.2.2.0

Can someone please help me figure out the issue which is causing this inconsistency.

Thanks and Regards
