When I load gitk (git version 1.6.5.1) on OS X (SL) I recieve an error/warning about GreaseKit:

Error loading /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: GC capability mismatch

gitk does start and appears to be functional. Has anyone seen this? Any need to be concerned?

Thanks,
Scott

    Whatever version of GreaseKit is installed on your machine (as /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle) is not GC-compatible with your gitk binary. It means that GreaseKit will not be available in gitk.

    Unless you were planning on using GreaseKit inside gitk it is not a problem (does gitk even use WebKit?). Probably the only reason GreaseKit is loading is because its SIMBL configuration says to load GreaseKit into everything, regardless of whether it would ever be useful.

    If no one on your machine is using GreaseKit, you might consider deleting it.
