Problems installing NVU on mandrake 10
 

I have been hearing some positive things about NVU for designing webpages so I decided to give it a go. I unpacked the tar file and then went to run it and got the following error.

./nvu-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object No such file or directory
bash: ./nvu-bin:: No such file or directory

I am running mandrake 10, which I am must say is very impressive. Has anyone else had this problem?

Look forward to your responses.

libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is required for NVu to run. You can urpmi it. You'll be rocking and rolling then. After you get it up and running, you might wanna put it in /usr/local and symlink to it in /usr/bin. Then you can open it with one short command, "nvu".

I am still very new to linux. Where can I get hold of libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and how do I urpmi it?
so to be a pain.

Many Thanks

Try urpmi libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. Of course you'll need to be root.

Urpmi is Mandrake's solution to "RPM Hell". Its a dependancy-resolving package manager, like Debian's apt-get or Gentoo's emerge. It saves you from trying "rpm -i <whatever>" and being told that 15 packages are also neededq first and you're welcome to go fetch them for yourself. It does that work too. If urpmi is a foreign concept to you, then you should read its man page (not very long, but more descriptive than many man pages) and Mandrake's own documentation on how to install packages.

Good luck.

I wasn't able to urpmi this package with Mandrake 10. But you can download this rpm which contains what you need:
ftp://at.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrakel...83mdk.i586.rpm

As root, run this once you get it downloaded:

rpm -ivh libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk.i586.rpm

Hope that helps.

I downloaded NVU last night & had problems installing it on Mandrake 10 as well.

vectordrake's solution worked like a charm. This program is exactly what I have been looking for.

I really like it too. Its simple but powerful. BTW, you can do a KDE desktop icon quite easily (the one that comes with it is pretty nice) and then you can open it even easier. :D Happy authoring.

One probelm that I noticed with NVU (As well as Mozilla Compozer) is that it reformats your scripts.

In some areas of the document, it allows <?php ?> syntax while other times it reformats to &lt;?php ?&gt;

If only Bluefish had a graphical interface for inserting tables, images & such.
