Hi folks,

        I'm trying to compile and run the weather plugin under CentOS 6.4.   The code compiles from source OK, but when I try to use the plugin it fails with the error:

libweather.so: undefined symbol: gtk_spinner_new.

By commenting out the references to the spinner in the code and re-compiling, I can get past this problem, but then I run into a problem with threads.  The plugin crashes with the error:

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

        The glib2 version in CentOS 6.4 is 2.22.

        Has anyone successfully gotten version 0.8.3 of the plugin to work under CentOS 6.4?

                Bryan

It seems you're missing some libraries, see README. Anyway, this is the wrong place to report this, please ask for help at the appropriate forums for your distribution.
