aMule not launching
« on: December 23, 2006, 07:21:50 PM »

Hello everyone,

I have a problem which I am sure is not aMule itself.
I use Ubuntu Linux version 6.06 LTS.
I got a request to upgrade, which I did.
Now I cannot launch aMule anymore.
I tried deleting it and reinstalling it and it does not work.



I would appreciate some help becxause I cannot get any from the ubuntu forums, saddly enough, and you need to be very knowledgeable to be able to report a bug.

I like using aMule and I would like to be able tu use it again
 ?(

I tried from a terminal and this is what the end of the trial looks like.

amule: Symbol `_ZTV8wxColour' has different size in shared object, consider re-l inking
amule: Symbol `_ZTV17wxGenericTreeCtrl' has different size in shared object, con sider re-linking

Hi corvair!

This message means, that you use aMule built against a different version of wxGTK than you have installed. You have to install (find) a different aMule binary or built it yourself.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Why would the wxGTK change and How do I build a new binary or find another one?
You see I am not a specialist on this stuff.

The one who built the package used a different version of wxGTK than you do.

You should use aMule 2.1.3-1 of dapper-backports and wxGTK 2.6.1.2ubuntu2 of dapper. Do you have these?

Sometimes there are people out in the web who built their own packages, maybe these are built against your wxGTK-version.

I went to Synaptic package remover and completely removed wxGTK from there and then I was able to launch aMule.

When I upgraded aMule it probably uploaded its own new version of wxGTK and my old version was preventing it from openeing up, or something like that.

Thanks for mentioning wxGTK, it helped me solve the problem. I have been stuck with this for over a month.
