unable to install wkhtmltopdf (QT patched) on Ubuntu 16.04

[Juan Lopez]

Hello,

I am trying to install wkhtmltopdf (QT patched) but i am having issues.

First I used apt-get but the installed version, which works, is not the QT one.

Then I uninstalled it and I downloaded  the file named 'wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386.tar.xz' from the official site. I used tar for getting the folder structure.

When i launched the program i get a link error: 'error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

I installed required packages, in particular, 'libxrender'. But the issue is still there.

I checked for 'libXrender.so.1' and i found it in a folder '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1'.

When I launch ldd wkhtmltopdf, i get what follows:

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7ed8000)

libXrender.so.1 => not found

libfontconfig.so.1 => not found

libfreetype.so.6 => not found

libXext.so.6 => not found

libX11.so.6 => not found

libz.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0xf7e9f000)

libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf7e9a000)

librt.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0xf7e91000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7e74000)

libstdc++.so.6 => not found

libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf7e1e000)

libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7e01000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf7c4b000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7eda000)

Can you help me to understand what the issue is?

Than you

Hi Juan

I solved the problem by downloading the wkhtmltox-0.12.1.2_linux-jessie-amd64.deb 

and installed it using sudo apt install wkhtmltox-0.12.1.2_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
