codelite 3035 can't start on ubuntu 9.10

[zodiaq]

Hello,

after Ubuntu x64 dist upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 I have problems starting codelite 3035... before upgrade I had codelite 3035 installed and working, now latest version doesn't work (when I try to start it, window from application doesn't show, only notification 'starting codelite...' in applications area (bottom of screen) and after about 20seconds it disappears and nothing else happens). I've tried to remove it and install again - same problems... but interesting thing is that version installed by ubuntu's sinaptic manager (ver 2893) is starting without problems. Does anyone encountered such problems? Maybe there are logs I could provide to help solve this? I've checked systems logs but couldn't find any relevant information.

Hi,

Unfortunately the supplied CodeLite .debs won't run on karmic: at least one of the libs that karmic comes with isn't backward-compatible. (It's actually surprising that the current .debs work from hardy to jaunty.)

It's likely that future CodeLite releases will come with both karmic and pre-karmic debs. Meanwhile, either use the karmic package version, or build your own.

Regards,

David

Yep, building application from source fixed my problems - and I have latest svn version working! Hope it's stable ;p

Hope it's stable ;p

Thats the one I am using

It is pretty stable and you might find it better than the previous version, it also contains some big improvements, such as:
- active tip for the debugger
- New look (output view was replaced by a new control, tabs are different)
- 'Finder' (the little search box at the bottom of codelite) to quickly navigate your code, to find any class/struct/macro/workspace file in 2 clicks
- Faster and more reliable code-completion, no more external symbols database is required

and other improvements

I ran straight into this problem in the middle of setting up a new computer. I'm reluctant to build from source since that will set me back a long way. I'm also inexperienced enough to not know how to roll back the codelite installation to the karmic packaged version. Can someone tell me the steps please?

I'm stuck.

- Remove the codelite you installed on your machine (version 3035) like this:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -r codelite

Next, install the version that comes in Ubuntu9.10 repositories:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install codelite
