Many thanks my good friend

Try this, copy the linux/setup.data/bin/Linux/x64/setup (if you have renamed it, /x86 otherwise) to linux/ (where setup.sh is) and execute setup (not sure if as root) from there (with linux32 if you have x86).

Unfortunately, I don't have Archlinux installed so I cannot test it.

Many thanks my good friend
I finally install it with adding a respo and instal a lib
but when I want to execue it I recieve this error

[eman@eMan-PC ldoce5]$ ./run-ldoce5.sh
./ldoce5-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[eman@eMan-PC ldoce5]$ sudo pacman -Ss libgtk-x11

Sorry, try again.

[eman@eMan-PC ldoce5]$ sudo pacman -Ss libgtk
extra/libgtkhtml 2.11.1-2
    An HTML library for GTK
community/libgtksourceviewmm2 2.10.1-1
    A C++ API for gtksourceview2
[eman@eMan-PC ldoce5]$

I think there is a extra lib that I need to install but there isn't any thing that I can realiz

[eltama]

I'm happy to hear that you could install it. Indeed it seems that you need to install libgtk-x11-2.0. In Ubuntu I have

/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.a
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.la
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2200.0
/usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2200.0

I know nothing about Archlinux, so I cannot help you much there.

Anyway thank you my good friend for your patient
I will install Arch32 bit system early
thank you again

My computer using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit, when I installed LDOCE5 finish, it was cannot play sound of Words and cannot download PDF in Teacher Resources. I cannot run LDOCE5 icon on the Desktop, I must type "sudo <path>/ldoce5" on Terminal it was run. I had already installed Flash Plug. I installed LDOCE5 on Terminal and completed size is 2.4G. I tried this post suggested methods, and problem still appearance. Have anyone meets this question? How to resolve it? Thanks!

[emanamini]

Good to know that sound is working.

About the PDFs, as I note in the first post, they can be directly accessed in ldoce5/chrome/ldoce5/pdfs.

Regarding the icon on the desktop, I don't know how you installed it. Check that you have the necessary rights to execute it. What is the command you have in the launcher?

Thanks for your pay attention my question. I had run "chmod 777 -R ldoce5-directory" and "chmod 777 ldoce5.desktop" to get all rights.
