Hi
I have Ubuntu 6.06 for an os system.
I was using aMule 2.1.0 and I was getting to like it.
I just updated to version 2.1.3 through Save File with wxGTK 2.6.3
Everything apparently went OK and Synaptic tells me I have version 2.1.3.
When I launch aMule nothing happens except a few lines that flash on the screen, but
eMule does not start.
I don't know where to start to correct the problem.
I am new with Linux so please be very specific with the solution.
Much obliged for your help.
:]

You could start by posting those lines...
Cheers

Hi,
One more thing, I tried openeing in a terminal.
The terminal opens very briefly and it disapears.
-
huh?
start a terminal and type
amule
when it "crashes" there should be an output, if you see the output post it here...
-
Glad to here from you, Stefanero,
The lines I mentionned were only vertical and horizontal straight lines, sory for the confusion.
Here are the written lines after the crash:
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ amule
amule: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6.2' not found (required by amule)
amule: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6.3' not found (required by amule)
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$
I hope this will help.

sure,
you dont have wxGTK installed install it from teh place you got your aMule-deb and it should work

Hello again,
I installed wxgtk 2.6.3 and Synaptic confirms that it is installed,
amule is still not launching. I went to the terminal and I get the same message.
Seems like there is something missing and it is not recognizing it.
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ amule
amule: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6.2' not found (required by amule)
amule: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6.3' not found (required by amule)

You have wxWidgets installed, but it's the wrong version. It's a version < 2.6.2, but this aMule binary was compiled with wxWidgets >= 2.6.3.
-
Thanks for your reply,
What I don't understand is why it answers that 263 and 262 are not found.
I downloaded again 263 and reinstalled it and it still says 263 and 262 not found.
wxgtk 2.6.3 is supposed to be in there but why does it not recognize it? That is the big question.
;)
-
It's probably searched for in the wrong order.
Is /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf?
-
Good,
I am a newby at this so could you give me the full line to post in the terminal?
Like sudo ......... /etc/ld.so.conf
Thanks for your understanding
-
First,
grep '/usr/local/lib' < /etc/ld.so.confAfterwards, if it does not show any results:
sudo echo '/usr/local/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf
sudo /sbin/ldconfig
-
OK,
This is the result I got.
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ grep '/usr/local/lib' < /etc/ld.so.conf
bash: /etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo grep '/usr/local/lib' < /etc/ld.so.conf
bash: /etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo echo '/usr/local/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf
bash: /etc/ld.so.conf: Permission denied
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo /sbin/ldconfig
Password:
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo /sbin/ldconfig

Sorry, I have no idea how the sudo thing works in Ubuntu. What I know is that "su" doesn't work.
So let me phrase it differently: Make sure that a line with the content "/usr/local/lib" exists in the file "/etc/ld.so.conf", if it doesn't, add it, and run the program "/sbin/ldconfig" after adding it. For how to get the required privileges, refer to the Ubuntu documentation.
Btw. this message
bash: /etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directoryconcerns me. Either Ubuntu has a different glibc configuration or you have a problem.
-
Try 'sudo -s' instead of 'su' before executing the echo-command. See the Ubuntu-Package thread, I wrote something about this already.

Bravo,
Amule is running again.
I was able to open a text editor with gedit. (/etc/ld.so.conf)
The page was completely blank.
I aded: /usr/local/lib
Then I ran the program: sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf
And I was able to launch aMule.
Thanks to all of you for you help.
:baby:
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$ sudo /sbin/ldconfig
claude@ubuntuClaude:~$
-
Sorry,
A little mistake
The program I ran was: /sbin/ldconfig and not : /etc/ld.so.con
as you certainly have figurred out alreeady by now.
Thank you
-
Ok, the ld.so.conf + ldconfig trick worked for me, too.
I'm happily running amule 2.1.3 on Dapper Drake!!
