I’m trying to run Longman dictionary LDOCE4 on SUSE 11.2 .
I installed it using provided on their CD linux folder.
When I try to execute it in the terminal window, it tells me: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I’ve tried to install gtk-1.2.10-993.src.rpm and similar but I didn’t seem to succeed (e.g. yast’s window pops up to disappear in a sec. & nothing else happens).
I also tried to install LDOCE4 using wine and there was an error when i tried to run it. (with no spec. info)
The gtk-1.2 library comes from the gtk package. The current version is gtk-2 so perhaps you don’t have gtk installed. If you are running this on a 64-bit system, then it’s the gtk-32bit package you have to install.
A src.rpm package does nothing for you. You didn’t know it but it actually unpacked sources in /usr/src/packages. But src.rpm packages are for building binary .rpm packages so just forget about using .src.rpm packages for what you want to do.
Hmm, the thing is I do have gtk-2 installed (I suppose it was coming together with the SUSE 11.2 installation as it’s needed for eg. for GIMP, isn’t it?)
I’m running a 32-bit machine.
My understanding is that gtk-2 is ‘too new’ for what does the application requires…
