ver.2.4.1 does not start - Antonio.A - 02-14-2026

Hii all!

OS: Debian 13

I installed Wings3d from .desktop launcher, with no effect.
I run Wings3d from shell, obtaining a long crash report:

What's wrong?
Do I need something installed?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Antonio. We don't support Debian, so I cannot help you much about it. But...

It's a little old, but the message is very similar.
Can you check if this can be a tip about how to fix you problem?!

You need a package "libwxgtk-gl3.2-1".
