Installing OpenVSP on Debian 13

[M@]

I tried installing OpenVSP on Debian 13 but I'm getting an error.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of openvsp:
openvsp depends on libpython3.12t64 (>= 3.12.1); however:
 Package libpython3.12t64 is not installed.

I have libpython3.13 installed as well as python 3.13.5. It would seem to me that libpython3.13 should meet the requirements as this version is greater than 3.12.1 but obviously this isn't the case.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might get OpenVSP to run under Debian 13? I tried installing libpython3.12t64 but got the message there was no installation candidate.

I tried creating symlinks pointing to version 3.13 but this hasn't helped either.

Thanks for your help.

Can you give more background? What steps did you follow to install the package?

I suspect you were trying to install the DEB file from the downloads page? https://openvsp.org/download.php That one is built for Ubuntu 24.04 and was built using python 3.12 apparently. I'm not surprised that dpkg complains, python versions are not backwards compatible, i.e. if something is built for 3.12 there is no guarantee that it will work with 3.13.

If you haven't already, you should follow instructions at https://openvsp.org/wiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_instructions . You need to build OpenVSP yourself.

I just tested installing on Debian Trixie and it worked (I was using a personal file with build options and I didn't check whether it was the same as in the wiki, but I believe it is).

Cheers,

Mikel
