Libhunspell Error on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install from .deb using --force-architecture with hunspell and getlibs on 
64-bit Ubuntu 10.10.
2. Start textroom from terminal.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Libhunspell.so error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
textroom-0.8.2-2.deb on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. The force-architecture install 
worked with the previous version of textroom.

Solution: I downloaded textroom-0.8.2.tar.gz (linux source), ran make, and 
discovered a missing libxml++ dependency. After installing libxml++2.6-dev, I 
ran make again followed by sudo checkinstall, which built a deb and installed 
it. 

I love this program and will be happy to build a 64-bit deb with dependencies 
and menu entries (I didn't need these for my personal comp, so I didn't enter 
them.)

Incidentally, I've experienced this issue with LyX force-architecture 
installations as well and building from source solved that problem, as well. 
I'm not 100% on this, but I suspect the bug is in hunspell/getlibs.

I get a similar error message trying to build the latest version on archlinux 
64 bit.

I installed the necessary packages and the header file is present:
/usr/include/libxml++-2.6/libxml++/libxml++.h

Here is the error i get:
http://paste.kde.org/4939

Would be nice if this will be fixed.

Most of the issue reports we get are about 64 bit archs. It would be really 
great if you could build a deb for it.

That's the same error message I got on my first compile. I needed to install 
the libxml++ dev files. Check and see if you need them on Arch.

In arch linux development files are in the normal packages so i have them 
installed. And the missing files is installed too. So i think there is 
something missing while qmake is creating the path to my header files. But i 
cannot figure out how to fix it.

Here's the 64-bit deb. I tested on a clean-install virtual box. Please let me 
know if it doesn't.

I got the error too in mint 11 (ubuntu 10.10 worked fine). I fixed it in mint 
by opening the .deb package in gDebi and it installed the dependencies. Then I 
opened the .deb in a root nautilus window (sudo nautilus in ubuntu) and 
extracted the file. That gave me 2 folders... a deb folder (which can be 
ignored) and a usr folder. This usr folder contents duplicates the file 
structure where the textroom files should be placed in the system's usr folder 
so I manually dragged the files over to the appropriate locations. Again you 
must be in a root nautilus (or other file manager)  to do this.

The 64bit version  works fine except that to change the font sizes within the 
program, you have to adjust them and then restart.

This sounds like a lot of work but it's actually quite easy and worth it 
because textroom offers features that you can't get elsewhere in a 
distraction-free writing program such as this (like mindmaps and a built-in mp3 
player). If you're looking for a less stressful to install program, try 
focuswriter. Pyroom would probably be my third choice.

Good luck
