I am installing Texmaker. I have just been stopped by this error:
Quote:
/bin/ld: .obj/XKeyboard.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XkbGetState'
/bin/ld: note: 'XkbGetState' is defined in DSO /lib64/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bidiTeXmaker] Error 1
Compilation and installation done
There should be a .desktop file installed, which means it show in most application menus. If it doesn't because you're using a simple WM like fluxbox then you need to edit the menu manually to add it.
The command to start it is just 'texmaker' and you can test it from a console.
I'm not talking about icons on the desktop - I mean there should be an entry in the menu. Which DE/WM are you using?
I am using GNOME Shell 3.8.4

And which settings did you put in when running the build.sh?
Enter path to QT4: /usr/lib64/qt4
Enter SYSTEM: 1: UNIX
Enter PREFIX: /usr/local
Enter DIRECTORY for the desktop file: /usr/share/applications
Enter DIRECTORY for the icon file: /usr/share/pixmaps

If you run the command 'texmaker' in a console it says 'Command not found' or similar?
Copy texmaker from the source directory to /usr/local/bin
Copy utilities/texmaker.desktop to /usr/share/applications
Copy utilities/texmaker.png and utilities/texmaker.svg to /usr/share/pixmaps
Dive, you must forgive my dumbness. The TexMaker I am using is bidiTexMaker (able to switch betwen languages) That's why I had to write the command biditexmaker to run it. Forgive me... and thanks a lot.
