Program Closes itself

Not sure i this is the right forum - my apologies if not.
I installed Opencpn ver OpenCPN-4.x-4.2.0-1.1.x86_64 but when I try to run it, it never opens. There are no log files created created either. The good folks in the OpenCPN forum were unsuccessful in resolving this so I come to you. Please help.

Run from the command line a see if there are any errors reported


linux-d9oj:~ # opencpn
opencpn: relocation error: opencpn: symbol _ZTV21wxwxSizerItemListNode, version WXU_3.0 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_core-suse.so.1 with link time reference

Where did you get the package?

i’m not sure

Go to “software.opensuse.org” and do a package search. When I checked earlier today, there was a version there that somebody had built for 42.1, so there’s a good chance that will work for you.

thank you for you time:)

Repo version is OpenCPN-2.5.0-3.1.x86_64.rpm, committed “almost 3 years ago”, although built for LEAP last February, apparently.

Apparently version 3.0.2 couldn’t be build (all builds are disabled in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Asteffenp&package=OpenCPN), so perhaps 2.5 is the last “compatible” version.

Works here on 13.2 , but I had to switch all wxwidgets to the Version from that Repo.
