How to install Wink for Ubuntu 8.04 [64-bit]

[klaas.holwerda]

It also works on 9.04 (64-bit). The bug when capturing frames with Pause or Shift+Pause still remains. The workaround is to turn off Num Lock.

Add: I was using wink_1.5.1060-7_i386.deb package.

I got

http://ftp.kfki.hu/linux/debian/pool...060-8_i386.deb

That did work, after also installing:

apt-get install libstdc++5

The ubuntu one gives the expat1 problem mentioned above:

wink_1.5.1060-3ubuntu1.2_i386.deb

Has anyone got an update for these instructions that works in ubuntu 9.10, heres my issue - wink seems to install, correct icon appears in grphics menu but..when i click on it there's a brief flash and nothing happens. I ran the ldd /usr/lib/wink/wink and all seem to be there.
a couple of minutes later synaptics package manager repoted an error and removed wink and dependent libraries???
Can anyone help?
incidently I've tried WINE with windows build wink 2, it kind of works at first - although no sound - but when rendered urgh....doesn't really work, missing huge parts, text boxes and annotations disappear e.t.c

Installing on Karmic

Download the following files to your desktop.

wink_1.5.1060-6_i386.deb
libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb
libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb
libexpat1_2.0.1-4ubuntu1_i386.deb

Click on the libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb file to install it manually using the gui. Then type the following:

cd ~/Desktop

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libatk1.0-0 libc6 libfreetype6 libgcc1 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libpango1.0-0 libx11-6 libxext6 libxi6 libexpat1

dpkg-deb -x libexpat*.deb libexpat
sudo mv libexpat/lib/* /usr/lib32

dpkg-deb -x libstdc++5*i386.deb libstdc++5
sudo mv libstdc++5/usr/lib/* /usr/lib32

sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libexpat.so.1 /usr/lib32/libexpat.so.0

sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i wink*.deb

thanks for your help, unfortunately still got problems.
1. Although i've downloaded to desktop, when i go to desktop the files are not there?, if i click on download (in firefox download manager) and open containingg folder it opens to desktop...and files not there.(however they have downloaded and still appear in download manager...??. I did doubleclick on libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb anyway and got this message
Error: Wrong architecture 'amd64
my laptop is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9000 @ 2.80GHz could that be one issue?

This guide was written specifically for 64-bit Ubuntu users. Wink is currently available only as 32-bit package so if you want to install it on a 64-bit OS it requires a few extra steps. If you're currently running a 32-bit version of Ubuntu then you shouldn't have to do anything other than install the actual wink package. Since you received an error stating "wrong architecture" I'm assuming you've installed the i386 version of Ubuntu and not the amd64 version. You should be able to install wink with the following steps.

sudo apt-get remove wink
sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5*i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i wink*.deb

thanks linuxed, have 32bit as you said, have downloaded and sudo dkpg as instructed seemed to go ok. But I'm a newbie and don't now what to do next. I tried to run with wink and sudo wink at the terminal but i get..
/usr/lib/wink/wink: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
also there's no wink in applications after dpkg so i guess there's another step I need?

[linuxed]

sudo apt-get install libexpat1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0

Once installed wink should be listed under Applications > Graphics.

Ok I got the symbolic link to work:
g@g-laptop:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0': File exists
but I think wink itsels is no installing in the right place? at the moment i have
wink deb on desktop - i cd to home/g/Desktop and run dpkg from there:

Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i wink*.deb
(Reading database ... 210797 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace wink 1.5.1060-6 (using wink_1.5.1060-6_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement wink ...
Setting up wink (1.5.1060-6) ...

Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for man-db ..
but when i try to run wink:
/usr/lib/wink/wink: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
maybe wink is not installing where it should because i am unpacking from desktop?
sorry I'm new to all this

Run the following commands and then post the output. Select, right click and copy the output from your terminal window. Unfortunately I can't offer any additional suggestions without this info. I'd recommend editing out your username from all of the content before posting. Just a minor security precaution.

ldd /usr/lib/wink/wink
