Guitarix 'error while loading shared libraries libgtkmm-2.'

Post by raidenovski »

Hello there,
I have been sent here from the guitarix forum, hoping that you can help me.

Here's the thing:
I am running an ubuntu LXDE lowlatency kerenel with all kx-studio repos and plugins installed.
When I try to run guitarix this error pops up:

Code: Select all

guitarix: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory




Now, the thing is that I already have libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 plugin installed so that should be good.
My google searches haven't return anything useful, nobody seem to have encountered such a problem.

Also, it is worth noting that in my GUI software installer doesn't even show guitarix as an option to install. It simply doesn't find it which is odd because I install it over the terminal quite normally.

So, what am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!

No I hit same problem, in Ubuntu 18.04. I suppose I've installed kxstudio repos with these instructions:
http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories

I have kxstudio-repos and kxstudio-repos-gcc5 packages. For apt-sources.d I have several kxstudio repo files, and some of them seem to refer really old distros:

root@hermo:~# head -n1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kxstudio-debian.list
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://ppa.launchpad.net/kxstudio-debian/libs/ubuntu lucid main

I need to write about it on that page, as people sometimes get confused.
It is just the base distro used to build things, I still use lucid/10.04 to build a few things.
It all works out in the end, and that is what matters, no?
Yes, indeed, things working is what matters. Anyway, now guitarix won't work for me, any suggestions? I'm not in hurry, I can live without guitarix, but some days that might be handy.

Is it just that kxstudio packages are built on some older distribution, and therefore they don't work in 18.04?

building guitarix from source isn't as hard as it may seem. :wink:
On the road again.

I don't think that is hard at all. And starts to look like I need to build lmms, carla and what else also.

Most likely reason for this error spotted when I built guitarix myself.

For some reason, installation of libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 was not ok, library files were missing. Re-install of it fixed things.
sudo apt --reinstall install libgtkmm-2.4-1v5
