install problem: WX Failed loading "wxe_driver", Ubuntu 18.04

[gutschy]

Hello to all,

I'm trying to install wings-2.2.4. Run the install script looks fine.
Typed: sh ./wings and get an Error Report and a Crash Report. Any Idea?

Code:

➜  ~ cd wings-2.2.4
➜  wings-2.2.4 ls                                  
bin  lib  wings  wings.appdata.xml  wings.desktop
➜  wings-2.2.4 sudo sh ./wings

Does: sudo apt-get install libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.0-0v5
solve your problem

[gutschy]

Sorry,

Ubuntu can't find the package, and I can't find it online. Maybe you have prescribed yourself? And thanks for your help.

[micheus]

Does: sudo apt-get install libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.0-0v5
solve your problem

Maybe that is the pack name: libwxgtk3.0-0v5

It is listed in this doc: Installing and configuring under Ubuntu

[gutschy]

Hi Micheus,

you made my day!! Wings3D is running.

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-0v5

[micheus]

Thanks for the feedback.

I am completely flabbergasted how this could have solved it for OP.

I have the same error:

{load_driver,"libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"}

And I have the wxgtk3 package installed, but that package has gtk3u entries only, not a single gtk2u one:

Code:

$ dpkg -S libwx_gtk

As a matter of fact, Ubuntu repo comes up with zero hits on libwx_gtk2u so how could this have solved the missing lib?

I'm not a Linux regular user. When I suggested that I did a search and the files appeared on that package name

Ah, thanks.

So yeah, The Long Term Support (LTS) version for Ubuntu is now at 20.04.1 and even though 18.04 is still supported, it is not current.

I will download that package though, and extract the .so files from it, to see if that will help me.

UPDATE: Yeah, that works. With those libs, I can run wings3d. (I still see stutters in the UI though, but they are hard to reliably produce, it is an intermittent problem.)
