Express Scribe 4.31
/tmp/selfextract.tLLGRi/bin/scribe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installation cancelled
************************************************
I was able to locate libgtk:
Just a wild guess but does Express Scribe come in both 32 and 64 bit versions? If not, then maybe it wants you to install the 32 bit version of libgtk-x11-2.0. I notice that I have both 32 and 64 bit versions installed (for something else).
(Forgot to mention I'm using the 64bit Mate version of LMDE.)
Thanks jdkaye. I think you were right. I located and installed a 32bit version of libgtk and got past that error message.
However, there appears to be a series of similar shared libraries which the Express Scribe shell script can't open. I'm going through them one by one -wondering if there's a faster way ...
The current error message is:
/tmp/selfextract.bwjHCX/bin/scribe: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Using terminal cmd: ls /usr/lib/*, I can see libGL.so.1 in the /usr/lib/ directory.
Also, using: locate libGL.so.1, I get this output:
1. You might try using the code tags for the results of your commands. It will make your posts much more readable.
2. Our setups are different. I don't see any libGL in my /usr/lib/*. I only have libGLC... there.
Code:
~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 17 18:43 /usr/lib/libGLC.so.0 -> libGLC.so.0.0.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123632 Dec 17 18:43 /usr/lib/libGLC.so.0.0.7
3. Again regarding the libGL.so.1 file, could it require the 32bit version? I need them both for something.
I had installed the 32bit version of libGL, just couldn't locate it. It was appearing in /usr/lib/ but apparently it wasn't actually there. Finally found it in:
Code:
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
I created a symbolic link to it in /usr/lib/ and got past the error msg and actually got the app up and running.
Appreciate your help!
