Hello, thank you for pre-compiling Sigil for linux, it helps me a lot! I'm running Lubuntu 14.04
I had no trouble with v0.8.5 but when I try to install v0.8.6 I am getting this output on the commandline: Code:
/usr/local/share/sigil/sigil-real: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory EDIT: wait a minute, I'm a dork... I use so many computers throughout the day. This is a 64-bit machine and I am trying to install the 32-bit version. Let me try the 64-bit installer and I'll report back... EDIT2: yep, that was it -- I'm all good now -- Thanks! Last edited by dusktrader; 06-15-2015 at 09:16 PM. |

Now that 0.9.0 has been released, will there be an unofficial ubuntu package once the dust has settled? I see from the thread on the new release that there are a few bugs being patched, so I imagine that it would not be made available at least until all of these are fixed.

Debian/unstable already has sigil 0.9, so if the Ubuntu people are lazy in copying, that is their fault! See https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sigil.html
And soon 0.9 will be also in testing. So it is all up to Ubuntu, the baby child of Debian. |

Disappointing results with building on linux from source
I tried for a couple of hours to install sigil 0.9.0 on a laptop with Debian jessie 8.2 following the instructions in BuildingOnLinux.md. Installing Qt5.5.0 in /opt/ didn't present any problems and all the other listed dependencies downloaded and seemed to install ok.
The first failure was on the "sudo pip3 install lxml" where the pip.log states : "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'i586-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1" As I didn't really understand that error message nor what I could do to fix it, I suppose the rest, albeit apparently well detailed, was bound to fail - which it did. So, I was pleased to find this thread and in about ten minutes I had the 0.8.6 .deb package downloaded and installed. Sigil seems to run correctly and testing and familiarization will follow. Thanks for a ready made deb package. Saves a lot of time. |

Your error message looks like a missing zlib dev dependency, btw. "sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev" might have gotten you over that hurdle (and on to the next). If you ever want to try building the latest from scratch again, I'd suggest installing the repo version of lxml instead of using pip: sudo apt-get install python3-lxml. I'll update the BuildingOnLinux document to reflect that "apt-get install python3-lxml" is probably the way to go if your Python3.4 was installed from repos. Feel free to bring questions about building Sigil on Linux to the main Sigil forum, as well. Last edited by DiapDealer; 11-21-2015 at 05:31 PM. |

Just use the standard installation instructions. Sigil doesn't care whether your DE/WM is Gnome, KDE, xfce, lxde, Cinnamon, i3, dwm, or twm. |

Has the 0.9.x release reached the point where it would make sense to update the links in the first post in this thread to offer them as the "current release" yet? I am still using the 0.8.6 release on my Linux Mint x64 system and installed from those links, thus the question.

Hello DiapDealer:
I have to say THANK YOU for sharing this Sigil package, I installed it more than a year ago in Ubuntu, but a few months ago I moved to Debian Jessie, Sigil is only available in the unstable Debian repositories and is a headache to install qt5, i gave up and installed your package again and seems that works properly. Is there a way to update to the last version? |

Not currently, no. It's something I keep working on, but Sigil has changed drastically (internally) from the 0.8.x series. Building from source is still your best bet to get the latest version up and running in the meantime.

For some reason I couldn't get the newer or older versions to install on Debian 8 KDE. I tried using both gdebi-kde and apper, and even though it said dependencies were met it crashed the installer. Any suggestions? Thanks.
