[SOLVED] Xara Xtreme on Gutsy

[galvao]

Greetings.

I have Xara Xtreme, which always worked perfectly on Feisty, but after a clean install of gutsy I can't make it work.

Below is the program's error output when I try running it via shell.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

TIA,

That's weird, it works all okay for me.

Usually a glibc is a bad problem in the program.

What version are you using? 0.7 works fine for me.

[galvao]

Hi. I've downloaded and installed the latest version, but still can't run it. Allow me to add some more information:

When I run it I can see Xara Xtreme's splash screen, but then the following alert box shows up:

"Deleted stale lock file /home/galvao/.XARA-XTREME-WX-xaralx-galvao"

And then I have the error messages I already showed in my first post. Funny thing is that after all of this happen the file remains in my home directory.

I've tried then deleteing it manually, but then I got another alert message saying something like "An extremely serious error occurred, Xara Xtreme must quit now".

Any ideas?

TIA,

[Vadi]

I get that deleted stale lock file msg also, I just ignore it.

What did you download? I didn't know how to use the .package, so I just used the .tar.gz file, extracted it, went into the bin folder, and launched xaralx.

[galvao]

Well, I was downloading always the latest version, 0.7 rev 1783, because I really need all the bug fixes and stuff they are implementing in each version.

I just solved the problem:

* Installed the repo package, using apt-get.
* apt-get suggested me xaralx-svg and imagemagick, which I also installed
* Uninstalled the repo package
* Installed the latest version via autopackage

Maybe it was the lack of imagemagick?

Anyway, thank you all for the help!

Regards,

[Vadi]

There'a a repo package? Never knew. I just got it from their site.
