EDC editor is not starting on Ubuntu 17.04

I'm not sure about the root cause, but it seems like libxcb bundled in efl-tools is incompatible with 17.04's libX11 (1.6.4)

IDE doesn't throw any error messages, edc editor just not starting. So I've tried to run it from shell:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./tools/efl-tools/lib:./tools/edc-editor/lib tools/edc-editor/bin/enventor 
> monitor dir /home/lev/.elementary/config/standard
> tools/edc-editor/bin/enventor: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: xcb_wait_for_reply64

Removing bundled libxcb solves the issue:

> $ mv ./tools/efl-tools/lib/libxcb.so.1 ./tools/efl-tools/lib/libxcb.so.1.bak

I had the same problem in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic.

This fix solved the problem.

Thank you!

This is a bug in MATLAB R2017b (and later) that affects Ubuntu 17.04 (and later). Since the release of Ubuntu 17.04, the libgconf-2.so.4 library does not get installed unless it was already on the system prior to an upgrade. However, this library is needed by the Live Editor in order to run.
