Texmaker installing error


Hi,

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
How can I solve this problem?

Try adding '-lX11' to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS

You're installing from source I take it?

When you ./configure do something like:

CFLAGS="-lX11" CXXFLAGS="-lX11" ./configure

If you're installing some other way please let us know what you're doing.

I am installing a package that contains texmaker together with livetex in a dvd. The command I am using to install texmaker is: sudo sh BUILD.sh

Does your distro not have texmaker in its package repo?

If not, have a look in the file texmaker.pro around line 313. This is probably what it has:

Code:
LIBS         += -lz
Try changing that to:
Code:
LIBS         += -lz -lX11
Save the file and run BUILD.sh again and it should be added to the Makefile. If this doesn't work then some hacking of the Makefile may be required.

Thanks, that solved my problem.
But there's no such documents to guide me about how to launch it ?!

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.

Thanks Dive, but I have no texmaker in terminal !!! nor is there any icons on the desktop.
Let me tell you what I did:

I got a DVD of TexLive and installed Texlive by the following command:

Quote:
‫‪perl install-tl -gui‬‬ text
Then there was a TexMaker Package. I untar the package and after locating some parts as default, as you know, I installed it by:

Quote:
sh BUILD.sh
But, I cannot see how I can launch the now!!!

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?

And which settings did you put in when running the build.sh?

If you run the command 'texmaker' in a console it says 'Command not found' or similar?

I am using GNOME Shell 3.8.4

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

It says: bash: texmaker: command not found...

Ok.

Easiest fix:

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

Then run the following command:

sudo /usr/bin/update-desktop-database -q /usr/share/applications

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.
