Pcbnew does not start - MakeShape symbol not found

Software

Aaaaah, ok…

I interpreted

Failed to load shared library '/usr/bin/_pcbnew.kiface': 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libTKBO.so.7: undefined symbol: 
_ZN24BRepBuilderAPI_MakeShape5BuildERK21Message_ProgressRange

as:
“_pcbnew.kiface needs _ZN24BRepBuilderAPI_MakeShape5BuildERK21Message_ProgressRange from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libTKBO.so.7 but cannot find it.”

But if I understand you correctly, what the message meant was:
“In _ZN24BRepBuilderAPI_MakeShape5BuildERK21Message_ProgressRange from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libTKBO.so.7, loaded by _pcbnew.kiface, there was an issue: missing symbol”

22

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libTKBO.so.7 has an undefined symbol _ZN24BRepBuilderAPI_MakeShape5BuildERK21Message_ProgressRange (some code in boolean operations uses BRepBuilderAPI_MakeShape::Build(Message_ProgressRange const&)).

When the dynamic loader loads libTKBO.so.7’s dependency libTKTopAlgo.so.7, it should have resolved that symbol (but the loader doesn’t know that)

Just in case somebody has a similar problem in Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) - the kicad package from the KiCad Ubuntu repository depends on libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6, whose description says

  This package contains the following shared libraries:
    TKGeomAlgo TKTopAlgo TKPrim TKBO TKBool TKHLR TKFillet TKOffset TKFeat
    TKMesh TKXMesh TKShHealing

However, this package doesn’t actually contain any shared library files:

$ dpkg -L libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6
/usr/share/doc/libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6/copyright
/usr/share/lintian
/usr/share/lintian/overrides
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6

The solution was to install the package libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6t64 from the standard Ubuntu repository.

I see the shared libs in jammy version from kicad-8.0-releases ppa:

$ dpkg -L libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.6
