Errors trying to run Shaderman.Next

[animate1978]

Hi Alexi,

Recently I have been trying to run Shaderman.Next on 64Studio (i386
distro). So far it's been a no go, I keep getting errors when running
from command line.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "prototype.py", line 13, in ?
import wx
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/
__init__.py", line 42, in ?
from wx._core import *
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/
_core.py", line 4, in ?
import _core_
ImportError: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
pcre_get_stringtable_entries

I have been going through my packages trying to find the culprit but I
am stumped. What do I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks,
Ted

Actually I think I have found it. I have both wxgtk 2.4 and 2.6
installed. Would this be the problem? When this distro was installed
certain audio software required wxgtk 2.4 to be used, so in order for
that build to be uninstalled it has to upgrade those audio servers and
programs.

Or am I way off mark? I am confused and though I am trying to get
Shaderman to work, the audio software I use does work fine so I am
torn between the two. LOL. In the meantime I'll chill out on this so I
don't go messing up everything here, as it is I am confused. So
whenever you can let me know.

Thanks again,
Ted

Hello Ted,

Just a quick reply below.

Yes, it might be. I never tested ShaderMan under wxPython < 2.6. Also,
having installed old
version over the new one might be not so good of idea...

... and this is a mark of somewhat worse problem - your
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 is looking for pcre.so (or something like
that) and can't find it.
What's ldd /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 is telling you? Are there any
*.so that don't load up?

Cheers,

A.
