Currently Anjuta is having problems in Etch. Whenever I start Anjuta, I get this dialog and it quits

What could be the problem? I don't see any dependency problems...

I would like to use Anjuta because I am developing a GTK2 application and KDevelop is not ideal for this.

What version do you have?

anjuta 1.2.4-1+b1
anjuta-common 1.2.4-1

Repositories: testing/Etch.

I saw a bug report quite similar to the problem I faced filed in the Debian site for this package. So maybe it's a package issue and the maintainer will soon release an update hopefully.

i suspect that is the case.

Also check the theme you are using. Try the simple theme to see if there any differences(when using gnome).

I'm using KDE. No Gnome.

I tried downgrading the packages to the ones from "stable". No dice. Still doesn't work. I wonder what the problem could be. I cannot get any error messages in the command line. Just the aggravating dialog box whenever I open Anjuta.

I tried also from IceWM thinking it might be a KDE problem. Still not solved... still getting the same problem.

I've written to the package maintainer to see if I can get any help. Because this particular problem doesn't seem to be documented in any forum or the Debian mailing list...

I got the same problem, but I find no clues to that. I dont think that is because of KDE. Infact, I use:
+Anjuta 2.0.0
+Gnome with updates of:
gnome-themes-3.10.1.tar.bz2
gnome-themes-2.10.1.tar.bz2.part
CrystalSVGforGnomeIcons1-2-0_1082838150.tar.bz2
CrystalforGNOME-CrystalBluecurve1-0_1088901574.tar.gz
Clearlooks Crystal 1.1.tar.gz
First time I launched, it worked well. Then I moved a toolbar around for fun and hided it, Anjuta suddenly stopped (crazy that way). I turned back and got the same message like you. I try on Internet but nothing helpful.
Still I dont think that is because of KDE or Gnome, maybe that is from Anjuta itself, huh?

I had to go to the ajnuta debian packages page and download every lib and program with apt-get, I don't know which one or muliple files fix it but that does the trick everytime. I've installed on several PC's and had to do this.

Also I think Anjuta is for GNOME, but if you download all the obscure files on the package site it seems to work

Finally, I reinstall my Ubuntu Linux, and setup Anjuta again. All work well. Quite crazy that way, but I find no fix, so its better than waiting in hopefulness

Actually it resolved once I got it from the sid repositories. Just add unstable to your repositories list.

You can still keep the preferred repository to Etch, but you'll have packages from unstable available.
