Sigil 0.4 not working in Debian Squeeze

kmckinley · 08-15-2011, 06:44 PM

Squeeze is dist-upgraded to 15 August.

When I do "/opt/sigil/sigil.sh" from the command line I get:

Quote:

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXXX_3.4.14` not found (required by /opt/sigil/sigil)

I hope this doesn't mean running the latest Sigil is not an option for me.

I'm running 0.4.0 on Debian Sid, KDE 4.6.5, QT 4.7.2

However, since I'm just testing it so far I installed as a normal user into /home/<username>/sigil-04/

Also, I modified the sigil.sh batch file to include the following

Code:

## workaround suggested by Ahmad Samir, mobileread forums
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
##  end of workaround

When I start the script from a terminal session, I see no error messages. Sigil just starts and (so far at least) seems to run as expected.

You might try that workaround. Sometimes it helps, and for other issues it doesn't. (e.g. KDE 4.7.0 )

Didn't help, but thanks anyway.

The version of libstdc++6 provided by Squeeze is to old. You would need to build Sigil from source.

Well, your libstdc++6 is too new.

How much building from source would I be in for?

Your wiki page seems to indicate I would need to build Qt 4.7.3 from source as well as Sigil.

4.7.0 is the minimum required version.
