How do I get the package gtkglext

Hello, a software called gabedit needs this package. But I can only find the source code. Do I need to compile the package to get gabedit to work?

This would seem to be the package required.

Where did you acquire gabedit from?

From this repo https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=science&package=gabedit.

I get this error when use the “geometry -> draw” function, this program will force close.

gabedit
gabedit: symbol lookup error: gabedit: undefined symbol: gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font

You have to install libgtkgl-x11-1_0-0 from this repo as well, I suppose.

Use the “Versions” tab in YaST for that. (you have to have added the repo to your system though)

Thanks! Works great now. The solution comes out like a detective story to me. :open_mouth:
