32-bit compatibility wxGTK?

staalmannen · September 14, 2009, 2:39pm

Hi all

I am trying to run a DNA cloning program called GENtle. I have not been able to compile it myself and I am no expert in editing source code so I was trying to run the pre-compiled version.

It requires wxGTK, which I have installed. Unfortunately it looks for the libary at /usr/lib and if I make a symlink to /usr/lib64, I get this error:

./GENtle: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

so… basically I need to get a 32-bit library file for this to get working, but I am not sure whether such a library would work on a 64-bit system… any ideas?

Worked like a charm here on 11.1 64 Bit.

Error messages might help.

Really? I am surprised.

The installation instructions are very scarce in the Trunk source. Could you give any hints on how you did it?

Error messages I get from GENtle compilations (guessing what needs to be done since no clear instructions are given):

sh configure
configure: line 1746: syntax error near unexpected token GENtle,' configure: line 1746: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(GENtle, 1.5)’

Checked out CVS sources as described.
ran the autogen.sh script
ran the configure script
ran make

Thanks. I am officially an idiot

Now after a couple of rounds of finding a dependency and fullfilling it and running into the next, I have come to a phase where make gives an error message not related to a missing package as far as I can see.
