Can not install and run TextRoom in Ubuntu 10.4 64 bits. Anyone has been successful?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. It says that textroom_0.6.4-ubuntu-1_i386.deb is wrong architecture.

Then, I tried: ./textroom-0.6.5-installer.bin
which seems to install well.  But when I go through the menus: Applications --> 
Office --> TextRoom, it doesn't run at all.

So that I go to uninstall: 

cd /usr/bin
textroom-uninstall

Once uninstalled I've tried to compile the source, but I've failed again

2.
3.

So that I tried to compile the source, but failed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks Josechu.

I guess I've compiled the Ubuntu package only for i386. I'll try to make it for 
any architecture. But please give me a few days, because I'm dead busy right 
now.

Thanks again.

Thank you for taking it into consideration!

Actually, if you couldn't start TextRoom after you've installed from the 
generic Linux installer (i.e. textroom-0.6.5-installer.bin) that may be because 
of some lacking dependencies. That installer doesn't control the dependencies. 

So can you give it a try after you've installed QtGui, QtCore, SDL, and 
SDL-mixer packages again? That must be the problem also behind it isn't able to 
compile.

Please try these and give me an answer if it worked out.

I'm also running 10.04 / 64-bit Ubuntu.   I was able to compile from source, 
but I did have similar(?) issues with the installer.    josechu, try running 
textroom from a command line (xterm or whatever) instead of the application 
menu and note any errors you see.  I recall seeing an issue with a hunspell 
library when I did that.  For whatever reason I resolved that only once I did 
the full compilation.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention hunpsell dependency. You should install that 
too.

I've installed manually several packages related to hunspell, but Textroom 
doesn't run either.

When I run it in a terminal, I get this error message:

textroom: error while loading shared libraries: libhunspell-1.2.so.0: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

even though I see libhunspell-1.2-0 correctly installed in the Synaptic Package 
Manager

Please look into /usr/lib folder for files starting with libhunspell-1.2. If 
there is one that named similar to "libhunspell-1.2.so.0.0.0" you should create 
a libhunspell-1.2.so file by entering the following command in the Terminal:

sudo ln -s libhunspell-1.2.so.0.0.0(or whatever your libhunspell file's name 
is, usually the longest filename) libhunspell-1.2.so.0 

Please try this and report back. This seems to be a problem about your hunspell 
installation.

Thanks,

I run the following command line:

/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libhunspell-1.2.so.0.0.0 libhunspell-1.2.so.0

but I keep getting the same error message when I try to run Textroom on the 
console:

/usr/lib$ textroom
textroom: error while loading shared libraries: libhunspell-1.2.so.0: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Note that if you have a 64bit system you need 32bit libraries for 32bit 
applications. AFAIK 32bit libs are installed into /usr/lib32/ on Ubuntu and not 
/usr/lib/ so if there's no libhunspell-1.2.so.0 in there the 32bit TextRoom 
version won't work.

Solution

1. Download de .DEB package for i386. Install it using: sudo dpkg -i 
--force-architecture /path/to/package.deb

2. install getlibs: http://explore-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2010/04/getlibs.html

3. install lib with getlibs: getlibs libhunspell-1.2.so.0

Be happy! :D
