When attempting to start Kodi on a fresh install of Fedora 35, it will not start, nothing happens when clicking the icon.

When launching from the terminal, the following error is received:

/usr/lib64/kodi/kodi.bin: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libcrossguid.so.0: undefined symbol: uuid_generate

Bug ID 6094 indicates this is marked resolved/fixed on September 28th but it is not fixed as the issue is still occurring.

Do you have version kodi-19.1-5.fc35.x86_64 installed?

Try https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1839463

sudo dnf update https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/crossguid/0/0.17.20160908gitfef89a4.fc35/x86_64/crossguid-0-0.17.20160908gitfef89a4.fc35.x86_64.rpm

@mike You could use crossguid2 instead, see

Thanks, this worked!

Hopefully a change to the kodi package can be made to eliminate the need for a manual crossguid installation.

I will mark this as invalid as the issue is in  fedora crossguid package.

The CMake files don't know how to find Fedora's 'crossguid2' files. Technically Kodi can use either version. It is just the name of the header that has changed. I don't see a reason to change at this time. Thanks for the tip though.
