1. wxEuphoria, dmak, ubuntu
I got an email from a guy who has trouble running dmak.
The facts are as follows:
* He is running Ubuntu Linux.
* He is getting a message saying that wxeu.so is not being read.
* wxeu.so is installed in /usr/lib
* He says according to strace, it looks like it is being read.
* He found on EUforum a suggestion from Matt Lewis to build wxEuphoria with
patches.
* He wants to know if this is a good idea.
* If so, he wants to know how to do it.
* He is not thrilled with his first experience with Euphoria/wxEuphoria.
* In the linux.com article, dmak "worked flawlessly on Ubuntu".
What should I tell him?

I can't use the supplied wxeu.so on my coLinux Debian box, and have to
build separately, so I know his pain. I don't know why this doesn't
work. On Linux it shouldn't be too difficult to rebuild from source.
You need the wxWidgets 2.4.2 source, then apply the patches. From
the base directory where you unpacked the source:
$ ./configure --with-gtk
$ make
There will be a .so in the lib/ directory (something like libwxgtk24.so).
That needs to be copied to /usr/lib/wxeu.so.

Sorry for the mangled message. It should have read:

I downloaded wxeu.so and ran ldd on it. Result:
$ ldd wxeu.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0xb79c6000)
libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0xb7990000)
libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0xb798d000)
libgthread-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgthread-1.2.so.0 (0xb798a000)
libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0xb7964000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7950000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb794c000)
libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0xb7944000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7936000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb786b000)
libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xb7846000)
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xb7825000)
libtiff.so.3 => not found
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7811000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb77ec000)
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7732000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7727000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75f0000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
That is, libtiff.so.3 is missing. Seeing that libtiff.so.3 wasn't included in
debian, I googled a bit and found the following:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/07/msg00065.html
"Version 3.6.1
is the last version of libtiff that will be released as libtiff.so.3.
(To be complete: programs that only use the "TIFF" type, and not the
"TIFFRGBAImage" type, will most likely continue to work properly with
either version of the library. There are a few other minor changes,
but they may or may not impact the public ABI.)"
That is, you could try the following:
1. symlinking libtiff.so.4 to libtiff.so.3 (ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.3)
2. get a copy of libtiff3g from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tiff/
3. download the package files of 3.6.1-5 from
http://snapshot.debian.net/libtiff4 and build the package manually.

1. Where are the patches to wxWidgets?
2. Do you mean libwxgtk24.so copied to /usr/lib/wxeu.so the file? Or copied to
/usr/lib/ the directory?

1. The developer package has a zip file called patch-9.zip (or something
similar). It has the updated source for all the things I've changed.
2. The file. Literally (from the lib directory):
$ cp libwxgtk24.so /usr/lib/wxeu.so
