I tried to run Gwibber in terminal and it displays this message:

I believe the problem I began having today is also related. I attempt to launch and receive the following message:

I´m having a similar problem

I can't start Gwibber
No error displayed when i tried to run it, it just won't start.

I tried and reinstall it, but same result.

I think i'm using the latest version, since i did uninstall and install again.
and still did run the ubuntu software actualization wizard

my guess is I made a mistake and erase some libraries that Gwibber needs..

I tried to run Gwibber in terminal and this is what it displays:

cc@x:~$ gwibber
