CB won't open in ubuntu 7.10
« on: March 16, 2008, 11:53:17 pm »
I just installed CB on a machine running ubuntu 7.10. I downloaded the files for it and installed all 6 .deb files that came with it (everything went fine) but now I can't get it to run. It showed up under the "Programming" menu and when I click on it starts to load up and "Starting Code::Blocks" shows up, then disappears and nothing happens. Any ideas what might be causing this or how I could fix it?

Can you try to start it from a console (just type codeblocks there) and see if there are any errors shown?

codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That is what I get. How do I get this library?

You can get it from http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ as described here.
There should have been dependency problems when installing the .deb's.
You need at least libwxbase2.8 and libwxgtk2.8, both in version 2.8.7.1-0 or higher to run C::B.
