Hey guys,

I've been trying to install the ldoce version several times now, it just doesnt start after I installed it. There are no installation errors. It just doesnt start!

When I try to start it manually i get the following error:

./ldoce4-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any of you guys know what to do?
Thanks in advance!

It looks like it's trying to find GTK 1.2
Do you have that?

Thx that did the job, installed GTK 1.2 and LDOCE started!

Guys! I also have the same Err:

./ldoce4-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0:  cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thx that did the job, installed GTK 1.2 and LDOCE started!

How should I install GTK 1.2 on Ubuntu 10.04?
